Biden's case for re-election is improving, but his polling against Trump is still shaky

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

79% : And the Electoral College has built-in advantages for Trump:
68% : By contrast, at this time in 2020, Biden was leading Trump by about 6 points in the FiveThirtyEight average.
57% : "And the likelihood of this becoming a referendum on Trump has increased dramatically in my view in the last few weeks.
51% : "The president has just over seven months -- and a lot of votes to move, according to surveys as he and Trump clinched their party's nominations this month.
48% : Still, there was little to celebrate: He was either trailing Trump or statistically tied in all seven states.
46% : But in 2016 and 2020, when Trump was on the ballot, Democrats underperformed the polls both times.
44% : And Trump, quite frankly, doesn't," he said.
36% : A new Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll Tuesday found signs of hope for Biden as he ticked upward against Trump in six of seven swing states over the last month.
35% : Biden's case for re-election is strengthening, but he still enters the general election in a weaker position than he did in 2020, when he consistently led Donald Trump in national and swing state surveys, often by wide margins.
19% : "The President is committed to earning not demanding Americans' votes, unlike Donald Trump who is running a campaign of revenge and retribution for himself and his wealthy friends.
18% : In the battleground states that gave Biden the White House -- like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona -- surveys in recent weeks largely show dead heats or Trump leading outside the margins of error.
