President Trump has cut into former Vice President Joe Biden's lead in Wisconsin and the two are in a statistical dead heat in Michigan and Pennsylvania, according to a new poll of the 2020 race.
But the latest survey from Firehouse-Optimus also finds Trump’s approval rating is underwater in all three battleground states, which are the linchpins of his reelection strategy.
If the 2016 map stays the same but Democrats are able to win back Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, they will win the Electoral College and take the White House back from Trump.
The polls come as Trump is set to launch his reelection drive with a campaign rally in Florida later on Tuesday, with more than 20 Democrats vying to oust him from the White House in 2020.
The president is polling the weakest in Wisconsin, although his approval rating and his standing against Biden have improved some in recent months.
Biden leads Trump 46 percent to 40 percent in the Badger State. Biden had a 12-point lead over Trump in the same survey from March. Trump’s approval rating in the state has ticked up from 41 percent positive and 54 percent negative in March to 44 positive and 51 negative in June.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) takes 47 percent against Trump’s 40 percent in Wisconsin. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Trump are tied at 41 percent in a head-to-head match-up, while Trump edges out South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg 41 percent to 39 percent.
The race is much closer in Michigan.
There, Biden leads Trump 46 percent to 43 percent, within the margin of error, but Trump and Sanders are tied at 44 percent support each. The survey found the president with a 2-point lead over Warren in Michigan, and he leads Buttigieg by 4 points.

Pennsylvania is a toss-up, according to the survey, with Biden at 43 percent and Trump at 42. Trump leads Sanders there 44 percent to 41 percent. The president has an 11-point advantage over Warren and he leads Buttigieg by 13 points.
Trump’s approval rating is at 46 percent positive and 49 percent negative in Pennsylvania.
And the election is over a year away! Need I say more!
Oh, here we go again. Re-writing history before it happens. It is all the RATS have.
And everybody else should as well. What utter nonsense.
Gee, Bidumb’s lead didn’t last long. Was that even a week?
Translation, Oh crap did you see that rally and $24.8 million in 24 hrs? Lets update our fakepolls so we don’t look quite so fake
Reversing the Obama coal rules should help in Pennsylvania.
If Biden does win the dem primary, I hope Barr and Haspel have the balls go after Biden & Son’s dealings in China and Ukraine. Just keep the powder dry until then.
If hes even in PA, then hes even in WI. Michigan is one I dont know enough about.
Polls provide the MSM cheap clickbait. The MSM not only no longer does actual investigative journalism, it seeks to snow under any stories that don’t match its narrative. Need to kill an awkward story that might reflect badly on Dems? Fire up a poll. The more absurd the better it is. Biden winning over Trump in Texas. Crazy! Print it!
I’m waiting for the MSM to really pull out all the stops and print some absurdly like a therapy dog in iowa is beating Trump. The MSM is going to require lots of chaff to coverup the FBI coup plotters when those indictments begin to flow.
Alot of Rubio people from this outfit. At least its better than crap CNN and other lib polling outfits.
Polling now is all about generating numbers for one purpose only.
To motivate donations to campaigns.
It’s a fraud game played by pollster outfits.
No one donates to a campaign that appears to have no chance. So, generate numbers that make it appear to have a chance. Get the money. Loser campaigns pay for this service.
Guys, don’t be complacent and work hard, but honestly, short of a complete economic meltdown between now and next November, Trump will win re-election by the biggest landslide since 1984... It doesn’t matter what the polls are saying or who the D nominee is.
Short of said economic collapse, the following WILL happen:
Trump will perform better in EVERY STATE.
Trump will win EVERY state he took in 16.
Trump will win most if not all of the states he lost but got over 45% of the vote in 2016
Trump will take the battle to states he got between 40 and 45% of the vote in 2016, and probably take a few of those as well.
Trump will on the low end get 3-5 Million more votes overall than he did in 2020. If the winds are right it could be significantly more than that.
Trump will win re-election by the largest margin since Ronald Reagan.
Work hard, but the idea that Trump is losing any state he won in 16 is as laughable as “hillary will win GA by 10” nonsense in 2016.
The rust belt isn’t in play for the Dems... no matter who the nominee is.
Those that think it is, don’t understand how or why Trump won here in 16... He’ll take every 2016 state here and MN too in 2020...
Doesn’t matter who the D’s nominate... There is no path in this region for a D win for the White House...
Toss up? IOW, Biden is being tossed to the curb.
I had such high hopes for Toomey. Voted him into office years ago.
When President Trump won the nomination, Toomey refused to endorse him. I had already bought a $100 ticket to a Toomey dinner and couldn’t bring myself to attend.
I also didn’t vote for Toomey in the general. He’s just leftover Bush-era globalist.
Given that a small percentage of US voters in 2019 have a home phone, can anyone suggest any way to actually do accurate polling anymore??
I once (long ago) worked for a polling company & given the current situation of mostly cellphones, I simply believe NONE of them.
