Relatively Speaking he's regained a comfortable second place nationally. I suspect that as Trump loses his latest surge support, Ben Carson and then Ted Cruz will get the majority of these supporters.

All those RCP polls are from 11/19 or older.

The thing to remember about a tracking poll is that the sample size for any given day is microscopic for a national poll (300-350 people). It's highly likely this movement we are seeing is Trump getting a weird outlier day where he got 60% of the sample and Carson got zilch that spiked Trump's lead. It would then take 5 days for that outlier to drop from tracker.

Reuters literally has Gilmore at 3%. Irrelevant.
