Change Research/CNBC: Trump +3 in "Battleground States"

[wbrocks67]

Everyone loves these - especially when they are with Change Research!

CNBC/Change Research Poll in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin: May 1-3, 2020

Trump 48
Biden 45

Should make it clear though that this sample seems VERY pro-Trump. Just look at the favorable ratings:

Donald Trump 46/50 (-4)
Joe Biden 36/55 (-19)
Bernie Sanders 32/55 (-23)

Trump's approval in this poll is also 49/51 which... does not align at all with other specific battleground polls we've gotten.

EDIT: The sample is 2016 Trump +1, so yes, a little pro-Trump

Also, these approval ratings on handling of the virus seem again, off... from where we've seen recent polls.

Trump: 48/52 (-4)
AZ Gov. Doug Ducey (R): 55/45 (+10)
FL Gov. Ron DeSantis (R): 49/51 (-2)
NC Gov. Roy Cooper (D): 53/47 (+6)
MI Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D): 51/49 (+2)
PA Gov. Tom Wolf (D): 52/48 (+4)
WI Gov. Tony Evers (D): 52/48 (+4)

SO you can probably junk it.

It's Change Research. Why even bother?

[Sir Mohamed]

Gee, I hate these "battleground state polls". Why not release specific numbers?

Anyway, since Biden needs less battlegrounds to win, if he's up 3, he should be fine in November. Can't hide a loud "meh" for Change Research though.

Running for President on a platform of banning combined "battleground states" polls.

[Gracile]

"Battleground States" polls are the most pointless thing in the world.

I hate polls that overstate support for candidates

[Progressive Pessimist]

If it wasn't Change Research I would have a sinking feeling in my stomach right about now.

Yeah this is exactly where the race is at, not plus 10
