As we've watched former Vice President Joe Biden's national lead over President Donald Trump grow, the question was whether we would see it reflected in state polls. We can now answer that question in the affirmative.
We still have over four months to go, so there's time for things to change.
But for now, Biden is up significantly in the states most likely to determine the outcome of the 2020 election, including the pivotal state of Wisconsin.
The polls released on Thursday by The New York Times and Siena College are the latest evidence of Trump's troubles. They polled the six closest swing states won by Trump in 2016: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Biden was ahead by between 6 points (Florida) and 11 points (Michigan and Wisconsin) in all of them.
On average, Biden led by 9 points across these six states. Trump carried them by an average of 2 points in 2016, so these represent an 11-point movement in Biden's direction from the 2016 baseline. That is similar to the average state poll we've seen since the protests against police brutality and racism following George Floyd's death.
