I mentioned that months ago. It always happens in a rapidly evolving state. Some firms use old models, other firms try to adjust toward a new estimate of the electorate

IMO, the very high Arizona margins were always wrong and should have been ignored. Bottom line that state still has 40-41% self-identified conservatives, although hopefully that will drop into high 30s this year

please just win those States, everything else (GA, FL, AZ, TX) is gravy. We just need those firewall States back.

... compared to the 15% in 2016. That's why we can sort of trust these polls.

Looking back, I don't remember a single battleground state poll in 2016 with Hillary at or above 50%. Rather, they were mostly in the 46-42 range, suggesting a good number of undecideds. This makes a lot of sense.
