I thought 538 also relied a bit more on trends too. So if it went from looking "really bad" to just "bad" or "somewhat bad", then the forecast projects that the trend will continue in that direction?
With the election so close now, that factor is likely lessened though, but that could be a reason Trump is seeing a sudden jump in his chances.
