I suspect that he never lost the lead. Now is the time when desperate Democrat pollsters are willing to bend the numbers in order to help the party. They will release a “new” poll with the real numbers just before election day so that their track record stays clean.

That’s what they are trying to do to Nikki Haley in SC and Pat Toomy in PA. Both will win despite the “tightening of the polls.”

The tighening is to help the candidate raise money, no one donates money to a lost cause. It also helps bring in bsiness to pollsters. If one shows a race is tightening, other polls will be commissioned by newspapers /networks to verify, but if a race is consistently 10+ lead, no one will commission more polls. So it’s professionally beneficial for all of them to tighten some races to help each other out.
