"explain how state polls lag national ones"
National polls are taken daily. State polls are not daily rolling averages but are taken weekly, sometimes even monthly. The national poll reacts first -- it's current -- then the state polls hit and reflect the national numbers...not exactly in every state, but almost always the same TREND in every state. We're trending up.

As the old phrase goes... “a rising tide lifts all boats”... Some (3 point gain nationally yeilds about 6 points in red states, 3 in battleground, and 1 in blue) more than others.
