Yeah, there might be a slight tightening in the national polls, but 538 has said that the national polls have suggested a wider margin than the state polls, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the national polls tighten a little to bring them in line with the state polls, or the state polls widening to bring them in-line with the national polls. My loose reading, without crunching any numbers but just looking at trend lines, is that we're seeing a little of both.

The only thing that would be really worrying for Biden is the state polls tightening in Trump's favour, and that's definitely not happening at the moment.
