Too many of the polls also use internet responses, which is even more unreliable. You are correct about errors with sample sizes and other methodologies. Most polls I look into have heavily skewed methodlogy, like oversampling democrats in some cases by +10 and sometimes more. The state polls are the worst. I looked at one for Arizona, which has more registered Republicans by several hundred thousand, and the poll sampled dems +8.

Poll hoaxing is real.
