Joe Biden continues to lead in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania (49-43) and Wisconsin (48-42) in a CBS/YouGov poll released this morning.
Late on election night 2016, it was Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that put Donald Trump over the top and into the White House, thanks to late-deciding voters who went his way, and big margins among people who wanted change.
Today, the vast majority of voters in these two states say things in the U.S. are going badly. They think Joe Biden would do a better job of handling coronavirus by significant margins, washing out any edge Mr. Trump has on the economy. And looking back now, relatively few voters in these states say the Trump presidency has been going as they expected — more say it's gone worse than gone better.
And so Biden leads both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin today by six points in each. He's cutting into Mr. Trump's margins with the White, non-college voters who've been a key part of the Trump base. He's leading among independents — a group that went for Mr. Trump last time — and even peeling off a few Republicans who think things in the U.S. aren't going well.

Notably Joe is mighty close to 50% in both states.
