Which polling should have been able to reflect, and allow her to better target some of the voters she lost.
She skipped out on campaigning in several states that flipped for Trump, and didn't really do much to address her (un)likeability.
Edit - the US election is won or lost on electoral votes, not the popular vote. You play to win within the rules, not to make excuses.

(This is true not only of here Senate and Presidential general election campaigns, but also both Presidential primaries.) It seems likely to me that it wasn't her pollsters from all those elections that were the weakness, but the candidate, who has a strong loyal base within the party, limited ability to hold on to votes that initially lean her way that aren't part of that base, and basically no ability (in part because of hardened negative opinions on a large segment of the electorate) to swing opposed or uncommitted voters.
