(18,973 posts)All look a little like outliers save for MI, Biden is definitely up 10 in MI.
B/C rated poll on 538, so not great, but not bad.

(14,565 posts)The absolute lowest are normally 300. I'm not happy with the Pew ideological polls because they sample only 400, but at least that is double this lazy poll.
They would have been better off devoting all 800 to one state
