The one thing about the polls is even though they widely (too widely imo) disagree on who is winning by how much, they do all tend to trend in the same direction at the same time. This suggests that they at least agree on the general shifts in mood of the population towards or away from either candidate.

Yes, this is one of the main uses of internal polling. In a lot of ways, trends are more predictive of the final result than the topline of the final polls.
