It's pretty obvious that something is very wrong with the polling. Trump caught up with Harris nationally but apparently all the state polls are still within a point.
I think the most likely scenario is them declining to release any polls which show a big lead in a swing state, especially if it's towards Trump. Somehow two polls came out in Iowa today, one with Trump +9 and the other with Harris +3. Previous polls are few and far between but generally gave Trump a comfortable lead. I find it difficult to believe that in the last two months the state was only polled twice, seems more likely that they see Trump +7 and decide not to publish it to protect their reputation.

I'm sure you'd agree that not polling swing states is an r-slur move
