At the same point in 2016, Trump trailed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in four of the states but was able to pull out a victory on election night.
Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in six battleground states with less than two months until the election, but polling isn't always indicative of how the election will turn out.
Ahead of the 2020 election, eyes are on Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, Michigan and North Carolina as the key battleground states. Trump took all six states in 2016 despite polls from September showing that he trailed Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton by a range of less than a percentage point to 7.3 points in every state except Arizona and Florida, where he had the advantage.
Trump flipped Wisconsin in 2016 by 0.7 percentage points, but he appears to be struggling to connect with voters and currently trails Biden by 6.3 percentage points according to Real Clear Politics. It's the highest lead Biden has among the six battleground states for 2020 and is one percentage point higher than where Clinton stood at the same time in 2016.
"People aren't as cynical as Trump thinks they are. Biden had a message of healing and compassion ... He's not rooting for the looting and the fires," Lori Hawkins, chair of the Kenosha County Democratic Party, told Politico."The rhetoric and scare tactics that Trump is putting out there isn't swaying voters as he had hoped."Biden's home state of Pennsylvania is coming out hard for the former vice president and Real Clear Politics puts him at a 5.
