The poll, which ran from April 15-20 in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, showed 45 per cent of registered voters said they would support Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, while 39 per cent said they would support Trump. Biden's advantage in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania over Trump averaged 3 to 4 percentage points in February and March, according to an aggregation of survey results by Real Clear Politics.
To be sure, anything can happen with several months to go before the November 3 general election. State polls in 2016 showed Democrat Hillary Clinton enjoyed wide leads over Trump early in the election cycle in those same Midwestern states before she lost them to Trump on Election Day, all of them by less than a percentage point.
The coronavirus is by far the top concern for residents of all three states. More than 70,000 people have tested positive in all three states combined and 4,500 have died.
