The polls weren't wrong at the time, Trump just wasn't officially in it. Then Trump said he was running and it flipped the race on its head, with Trump getting an instant 15% share. After a month or so, he was in the 20's and from that point onward, Trump led 99% of the polls and never looked back. 

Biden could very well be on that same trajectory. He enters "late" and takes the lead and never looks back. While Trump was not considered beyond 1-4% when he wasn't officially a candidate, Biden was winning polls or tied for first prior to his announcement.

Biden seems to have it.

I was reading something from fox fhe other day that biden was skipping the traditional glad handing to focus on other opportunities. They were commending him on the strategy. And it may be just that, but personally I think it's just one more signal he knows hes got those party pillars locked up, so he's working on collecting votes.
