If I may now comment in my non-joke persona, this poll made my day yesterday (pathetic, I know)! Sure, it's still early but it's just nice to know that even as Americans (the most important ones in this case) approve of Trump's handling of this crisis, basically just because he is the President, that it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't want better leadership too.
And as for the "polls were wrong in 2016" excuse we always hear, keep in mind that Marquette was among the most accurate pollsters back in 2018 and that Democrats will not be taking this state for granted at all this year.
I will not deny that the Badger State is still a tossup, but perhaps all of the concern over how supposedly far right this state is trending to an unwinnable extent for Democrats will decrease now. It may never vote as it did for Obama both times ever again, but for this state to have the potential to vote to the left of where it was in 2000 and 2004, if this poll is anything to go by, is pretty remarkable and may suggest that it too could have been a fluke in 2016, if it delivers on this in November.
