(Bloomberg) -- Joe Biden has significant leads over President Donald Trump in Michigan and Pennsylvania, two Fox News polls showed.

The polls both found the presumptive Democratic nominee leading the incumbent president by 8 points in the swing states, which could have a decisive role in the November election. Fox found Biden ahead in Michigan 49% to 41% and leading 50% to 48% in Pennsylvania.

This is incorrect. The following from 538: Pa. Apr 18-21, 2020

Trump narrowly won both states in 2016.

The polls were conducted April 18-21 and had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

Nationally, Biden leads Trump 48% to 42% in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

Going in the right direction, but we need to keep it going well into the double digits. Ever vigilant.

1. Good news, but a lot of time left...

and a lot of work to do.

2. Too close in Penn.

After all that has happened.

14. It's 50-42, not sure why it says 50-48.

[UncleNoel]

17. Yeah! I should have checked it out with 538. Fixed it with an update.

20. Probably a typo on their end.

3. NICE !!! Keep up the swing state reports, national level polls don't mean as much

4. After what happened in 2016 I don't believe a one of these polls.

I am going to work like we are 10 points behind until the day after the election.

5. Pennsylvania is within the margin of error. That doesn't sound so good.

15. Biden leads 50-42 in PA - the number is wrong.

7. It should be 70 to 30 at least ...

I really don't understand what is wrong with some people. As a Michigan resident I have to wonder. I guess I live in a deep blue region but are the red regions really that dense?

With most Pennsylvania voters concerned about catching coronavirus and nearly six-in-ten believing the Trump administration was too slow to act, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in that battleground state.

Biden is preferred over Trump by 8 percentage points (50-42 percent), according to a Fox News Poll of Pennsylvania registered voters. ... Eight percent are undecided.

19. Right. This is the correct number. The article got it wrong, but I've updated the thread .

Thanks for posting.

21. Just as long as we're close to the double digits we need. :)

9. GOTV, my friends.

10. Biden will crush trump.

I refuse to listen to polls. No one I know is ever polled.

11. That PA # is wrong. It's 50-42 not 50-48.

[pnwmom]

12. 2% is the opposite of a significant lead, where the margin of error is 3.5%.

So they're basically tied in PA.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. The number is wrong. Biden leads 50-42 in PA.

[UncleNoel]

16. Thanks. Fixed it with correction.

[pnwmom]

18. That's much better. Thanks!
