When pollsters doing The New York Times/Siena College Poll completed their final tabulations before Election Day, they said former Vice President Joe Biden enjoyed big leads over President Donald Trump in four key battleground states.

“Joseph R. Biden Jr. holds a clear advantage over President Trump across four of the most important presidential swing states, a new poll shows, bolstered by the support of voters who did not participate in the 2016 election and who now appear to be turning out in large numbers to cast their ballots, mainly for the Democrat,” the NY Times reported two days before voters went to the polls on Nov. 3.
