I think he's somewhat addressed that in the article by pointing out that state by State polling is more inaccurate then the national polls in part because it's done so rarely. So I guess using the national pulling as a proxy for state is something they feel is more accurate when they try to figure out the electoral college results. I would find it interesting if pulling in these days is actually able to figure out anything. In addition to the polling problem itself, we have two frontrunners who have probably garnered more "not that one" votes than any previous race in history.
