ton in 2016 by 44,292 votes, or less than one percentage point. Mr. Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee, have been all over the state this weekend, reinforcing how critical it has become to the outcome of this election.
But a New York Times/Siena College poll published Sunday suggests that the strategy may not have worked in Pennsylvania and three other states: Wisconsin, Florida and Arizona. Yes, there has been an influx of voters who sat out 2016. But the Times/Siena College poll found that they are by and large voting for Mr. Biden.
Among eligible Pennsylvania voters who did not turn out in 2016, Mr. Biden is leading Mr. Trump by 12 points. His margin among those voters is 19 points in Wisconsin, 17 points in Florida and 7 points in Arizona.
None of this should prompt Democrats to break out the champagne. For one thing, this figure includes people who were not old enough to vote in 2016, and Mr. Trump has not done well with young voters.
But the poll shows Mr. Biden with a lead in four of the most crucial swing states, leaving him in a strong position heading into Election Day. He leads Florida by three points, Arizona and Pennsylvania by six and Wisconsin by 11.
Some efforts by Mr. Trump may have paid off, if modestly. He has made a concerted effort to draw Hispanic support across the country, and the poll found that 33 percent of Latino respondents in Florida supported him over Mr. Biden, with 9 percent undecided. In 2016, a survey of voters leaving polling places found that 31 percent of Hispanic voters favored Mr. Trump over Mrs. Clinton.
