Have we checked to see if there's any Russian collusion in this poll?

And this is far from the only poll showing Trump losing to Biden in Michigan by a lot. He also loses to Bernie by about as much in other polling.

I agree with you that it is a poor strategy to simply fire up one's base, while ignoring independents.

That said, I consider it much too early for polls to be at all meaningful.

Moreover, polls of the popular vote are never meaningful. (After all, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016--by almost three percentage points--and it did her absolutely no good, whatsoever.)
