With Joe as the last remaining candidate and most Sanders supporters getting on board, high-level endorsements coming in from people like Julian Castro, etc, should we expect to see Biden's margin against Trump improve by a few points in swing states?

Good one!

As a Biden supporter, I would have picked Bernie over Trump easily. I would assume the same for Bernie supporter when they answered the Trump vs. Biden question. I just feel like there wouldn't be much a move.
The polls are not Trump vs. Biden vs. Bernie where the Bernie's number would have to find a new home, thus the remaining candidates gets a sizable jump.

And a Fox News poll had him up 25 points in counties that were close in 2016.

So, I wouldn't expect much of a bump from those numbers.
