4. A 55%-44% result nationally would translate to a roughly 13 million vote difference

And that's if the national vote is roughly what it was in 2016.

Obama won by less than 10 million votes in 2008.

A lot of folks will come on these threads and tell you that national polls don't matter. Sure, they're partly right. But they likely won't explain how a 13 million vote difference would still result in an electoral college loss. At least not in any detail.
