Not sure exactly what happened here, but it could be a consolidation of DeSantis and other never-Trumpers accepting the fact that they have to vote Trump or Biden and there will be no other GOP candidate?
The RCP polling is also missing an independent center poll showing Trump up 5. Also Harvard/HarrisX has Trump up 11 when you include the other candidates. This is starting to look like bad news for President Biden.
Moreover, a couple of weeks ago there were multiple racking polls that had Biden ahead. Morning Consult, Ipsos, Economist. All showed Biden ahead in the past 30 days. Now they have all moved in Trump's direction, some dramatically.
Or we could tip our hats to the conspiracy theorists out there. Perhaps this is all part of the coordinated strategy to pressure Biden off the ballot. Now that it is clear that Trump will be the nominee, the pollsters will all pretend to tank Biden's numbers in order to provide fodder to get him removed.
I guess anything is possible. But either way this is a strange uptick for Trump at this point.
