Trump's 2020 polls are getting worse. Here's proof.

A couple of weeks ago, a poll shook the 2020 race. It showed former vice president Joe Biden, who had just officially secured the delegates he needs to become the Democratic nominee, leading President Trump by a remarkable 12 points in all-important Michigan. That’s a state Trump had carried narrowly in 2016, and it was one of three — along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — that delivered him the presidency.

It turns out that things there might actually be worse for Trump. But it’s hardly the only indication that his 2020 polls are getting worse.

The Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday that a poll that was conducted in the same period as the earlier Michigan poll, but a day later — and by the same pollster, EPIC-MRA — showed that Biden’s margin was actually 16 points. That’s within the margin of error of the other poll, so it doesn’t necessarily mean that Trump’s numbers deteriorated that week. But when you compare it with EPIC-MRA’s earlier polling, which in January showed Biden up just six points, that does indicate a decline for Trump: From Biden at plus-6 in January to Biden between plus-12 and plus-16 in early June.

And there are plenty of other examples where that came from this month. For this post, we will focus not on all polls of a given state or the national race, which can be scattershot, but on polls that were run by the same pollster, as the Michigan ones were.
