RCP remains consistent in their numbers so I would not get your underwear in a knot over this.

I don't think any poll can really be trusted now. The concept of even participating in polls has become very politicized in the last few years. It's become a point of pride that Trump won despite the polls and every talking head on the right has spent the last few years saying stuff like: "I've never taken a poll." "Polls don't represent us" "what kind of loser even has time to take a poll?" "If someone calls me asking to participate in a poll, I'm hanging up the phone."
