They might have been talking about a particular state? Or if it's national polling, the Rasmussen poll has a pretty strong republican house effect and the most recent one does show Trump up (538 puts that poll at tied after they adjust it for its house effect).

To see a list of all the polls 538 considers reputable (doesn't have to be balanced, they include and try to account for bias, just has to not be flawed) has a good page, you can sort the polls by date:
