Polls show Biden with the advantage in four battleground states

New polls in four key battleground states show Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden with the edge over President Donald Trump, including in one of the key states Trump flipped to the Republican column in 2016.

A set of New York Times Upshot/Siena College surveys released Saturday had Biden leading Trump in Minnesota, 50 percent to 41 percent, and more narrowly ahead in Wisconsin, 48 percent to 43 percent. The polls show closer races in two more states: Nevada, where the results showed Biden at 46 percent and Trump at 42 percent, and New Hampshire, where Biden had 45 percent to Trump’s 42 percent.

Wisconsin was one of three Midwestern states Trump flipped from the Democratic column in 2016 to win the presidency, and the Trump campaign has regularly cited Minnesota as a state it will try to flip this year after a close 2016 win for Hillary Clinton. Clinton also scored narrow wins in Nevada and New Hampshire in the last presidential election.

The Times/Siena surveys are about in line with the average of recent poll results in Minnesota and Wisconsin, but they depict tighter races in Nevada and New Hampshire, where there has been less polling this summer — especially in Nevada.

MN just isn't on the map this year for the GOP, sadly.

WI shows a steady Biden lead.

No one can figure out how to poll Nevada, but any poll done there always understates Democratic support. There's no race there.

Biden isn't going to lose NH and with 13% undecided or other, they didn't push leaners - the vast majority of whom will go for Biden - very hard. (Same for Nevada with 12% other or undecided.)
