Decision making as a jungler

Not sure if this is the right section for this but it seemed the most appropriate.

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not the best jungler and I'm honestly just looking for advice.

So you've just started your first clear and you're playing an aggressive early game jungler. Let's say Lee Sin just for the sake of argument, but it can be anyone with a strong early game presence. Upon looking at your lanes during farming and through your first recall (which I hear is what many junglers do in solo q), you notice that your toplane is doing very well, say 10 cs in the lead already fairly early in the game. You also notice that your midlane is not doing so hot (getting poked very hard and being shoved under turret) to the point where you can make the assumption that the enemy mid laner is fairly skilled (more so than your midlaner, obviously you don't say anything because you're not a bad mannered 13 year old and you understand that people have bad games/get outplayed sometimes)

Now my question is: Is it better to camp a lane where the enemy laner has an obvious skill advantage, trying to negate his effect on the game? Or is it better to accept the fact that your laner will be outplayed and try to win the game by other means (helping other lanes, etc) which would be getting top fed, and perhaps trying to set up some dragons for instance.

tl;dr As a jungler is it better to help a lane that you foresee losing, or to focus your efforts on other tasks?

I get that the example I gave is very general and there probably isn't enough information to make a decision straight away, I simply wanted to promote some discussion on the topic.
