A lot of things had to fall right for Donald Trump to win the presidency in 2016, but the biggest key was his ability to win key northern states that had voted Democratic for several cycles. In particular, Trump flipped Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which had voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1992.
The latest NBC News/Marist polls from Michigan and Wisconsin suggest it may be difficult to repeat that feat in 2020. The surveys show Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has solid leads over Trump with likely voters in both states — 52 percent to 44 percent in Michigan and 54 percent to 44 percent in Wisconsin.
