From some of the 538 articles they do look at trend lines for privious polls. So if you are on a continuing downward trend a bad poll makes more of a difference then a bad poll with a history of up and down.

Not quite what your looking for but polls plus and polls only have a memory of what previously happened

Bet fair has Hillary at 78% right now which matches up with 538s model but I wonder if 538 has essentially become the bookie setting the line and the betting markets follow him rather than being an independent data point
