MI: EPIC/MRA: Biden +9

[wbrocks67]

There's no excuse to have this many undecideds with under 3 weeks to go. Nice for Biden I guess, but this looks way too much like a 2016 poll.

This. There's no excuse to have this many undecideds 20 days to go.

Favorabilities:
Trump: 41/55 (-14)
Biden: 51/44 (+7)
Pence: 42/48 (-6)
Harris: 47/40 (+7)

Hm, they should send Harris to Michigan. She seems to be very popular there.

But EPIC-MRA's pollster, Bernie Porn

Wait a minute. The guy's name is BERNIE PORN??? And it's the first time I've heard of him?

Bernie Porn the Epic MRA. Yes.

Favorabilities:
Trump: 41/55 (-14)
Biden: 51/44 (+7)
Pence: 42/48 (-6)
Harris: 47/40 (+7)

Hm, they should send Harris to Michigan. She seems to be very popular there.

I don't think this follows. If we're going to be concerned about Biden being below 50 in the topline, a fortiori it doesn't follow that Harris is "very popular" if her favorability is only at 47.

Personally, I'm not terribly concerned about Biden being at 48 in this poll because even if you give Trump every undecided it still only gets to 48-48. If you have undecideds break 3:2 for Trump it gives you about 51-45. That's a little tighter than a few other of these Rust Belt polls, but far from unbelievable as a final result. This is also only one poll, and Biden is at or above 50 in several others.

Harris has a +7 net favorability. For someone who has not been on the national stage for that long and easily could've been defined, that is indeed very good.
