Polls flash 2020 warning for Trump

Early swing state polls suggest President Trump will have his work cut out for him to win reelection to a second term.
Trump's upset victories in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin propelled him to the White House in 2016. He was the first Republican presidential candidate to win any of those states since 1988.
Today, most polls show Trump behind former Vice President Joe Biden the current front-runner in the Democratic race in all of those swing states.
That's a problem, because if the 2016 map otherwise stays the same, a Democratic candidate who wins those three states will win the Electoral College.
Wisconsin seems to be a real problem, the 2018 midterms were a disaster for Republicans there, and Biden seems to have unique appeal in Pennsylvania, said Alex Conant, a partner at the GOP firm Firehouse Strategies.
Trump appears to be running strongest in Michigan, and he really only needs to hold on to one of these to win reelection. But its going to be very competitive and Trump is going to need to spend a lot of time in those three states and hope for the kind of turnout we saw in 2016, he said.
