I don't think they even use a trend.  Their algorithm looks to me like:

Average all polls within a week of the most recent poll in each state, treating each poll equally.  If Obama's ahead, award the state 100% to Obama.  If McCain's ahead, award the state 100% to McCain. 

It tends to make for dramatic swings in the electoral vote totals.
