Joe Biden Holds Wide Leads in Three Key Battleground States

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Joe Biden holds double-digit leads over President Donald Trump in two key swing states with less than a week to go until election day, new polling data has found.

The latest survey data from SurveyMonkey and Axios also revealed Biden is 9 points ahead of Trump in a third battleground state, signaling the Democratic nominee has a strong chance of winning the electoral college on November 3.

According to the pollster's candidate preference tracker, Biden led Trump by 12 percentage points in the neighboring states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. The former vice president picked up 55 percent support among likely voters in the two states, while Trump was backed by 43 percent.

In the nearby state of Michigan, Trump was found to trail Biden by 9 points with 44 percent of the vote—a projected fall of 3 percentage points on his winning 2016 tally.

2. I don't understand this sentence.

"In the nearby state of Michigan, Trump was found to trail Biden by 9 points with 44 percent of the vote—a projected fall of 3 percentage points on his winning 2016 tally."

If Trump has fallen 3 points down to trail by 9 points. Doesn't that mean he was trailing by 6 points in 2016? So how could that be a "winning 2016 tally?"

Can someone help me here?
