Polls show Biden has advantage in four-state battlefield


The New York Times and Siena College have conducted surveys in Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire and Wisconsin.

New polls in four major battlefield states show Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump, including in one of the most important states in which Trump moved to the Republican ranks in 2016.

A cluster of polls released by the New York Times Upshot / Siena College on Saturday put Biden ahead of Trump in Minnesota, 50 to 41 percent, and narrowly behind Wisconsin, 48 percent to 43 percent. Polls show a convergence of races in two other states: Nevada, where results show Biden 46% and Trump 42%, and New Hampshire, where Biden owns 45%, versus 42% for Trump.

Wisconsin was one of three states in the Midwest, Trump disrupted the Democratic column in 2016 to win the presidency, and the Trump campaign has consistently cited Minnesota as the country it will try to topple this year after a slight victory for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Clinton has also scored victories. Minority in Nevada and New Hampshire in the recent presidential elections.

The Times / Siena polls roughly match the average of recent poll results in Minnesota and Wisconsin, but describe harder races in Nevada and New Hampshire, where there have been fewer polls this summer - especially in Nevada.

Voters in Minnesota and Wisconsin, two states that have grappled with incidents of police violence and the summer of protests that followed, said they trusted Biden to better deal with race relations, protests and violent crime, despite Trump's recent efforts to paint Biden. As an ally of chaos and violence.

But polls have also shown that crime looms large on the minds of many voters, even regarding the coronavirus pandemic, with Trump focusing on "law and order" as the theme of his campaign.

Voters in Minnesota, Wisconsin and New Hampshire are divided over whether fighting the coronavirus pandemic or law and order is more important in the 2020 election. The majority of voters - 52% - said in Nevada, which has seen the largest drop in coronavirus cases this week since June. Law and order treatment prevails over the epidemic.

The polls were conducted from September 8 to 11 in four states, polling 814 potential voters in Minnesota, 760 potential voters in Wisconsin, 462 potential voters in Nevada and 445 potential voters in New Hampshire. Margins of error ranged from 3.9 percentage points in Minnesota to 5.5 percentage points in New Hampshire.
