CNN has more:
In Georgia, a state Biden carried by a very narrow margin in 2020, registered voters say they prefer Trump (49%) over Biden (44%) for the presidency in a two-way hypothetical matchup. In Michigan, which Biden won by a wider margin, Trump has 50% support to Biden's 40%, with 10% saying they wouldn't support either candidate even after being asked which way they lean. In both Michigan and Georgia, the share of voters who say they wouldn't support either candidate is at least as large as the margin between Biden and Trump.
Overall, just 35% in Michigan and 39% in Georgia approve of Biden's job performance, the surveys find, and majorities in both states say his policies have worsened economic conditions in the country (54% in Georgia, 56% in Michigan).
Recently, a Wall Street Journal poll showed Biden's approval rating sinking to a new low with only 37 percent of respondents approving of Biden's job.
In a hypothetical match-up between Biden and Trump, the President trailed the former president by 4 points, with 47 percent of respondents saying they would vote for Trump and 43 percent choosing Biden.
