Sample size 431, don't read top much into it.
Biden isn't popular, he is seen as maybe the only sane one in the bunch and in their eyes the only possible candidate that can beat Trump.

Since then, I believe that every poll done on the subject has shown a weakening of support among women from 2016 to today. Trump realizes this to be a problem in his reelection campaign and has put focus on strengthening his support with women.
"But according to the Fox poll, Trump – who took 41% of the women's vote to Clinton's 54% in 2016 – would lose female voters by bigger margins to Biden (who would get 51% of female voters, to Trump's 36%), Warren (who has 53% female support to Trump's 38%) and Sanders (who would capture 54% of women voters, compared to 36% who would vote for Trump in a general election matchup). Buttigieg would win women voters by a 47-36% margin against Trump, while Bloomberg would draw 48% of the female vote to Trump's 35%, according to the survey."

"President Donald Trump has a woman problem – and it could cost him re-election next year, according to a detailed poll released Thursday.
The reason? Credit (or blame) women, who are fleeing Trump's camp in droves. That includes, much to Greenberg's surprise, white working class women, who were an important element of Trump's unanticipated victory in 2016, voting for the president by a 27-point margin.
White working class women moved away from Trump in the 2018 midterms and more so earlier this year. But this was the first time Biden and Warren break even with Trump with this demographic, according to the survey. "That brings an end to Trump's white working class revolt in 2016, as the women are a majority of the white working class," says a memo prepared by Greenberg.
Meanwhile, both Biden and Warren best Trump with every other category of female voter in battleground states, the survey found. That includes African American women (Biden has an 83-point advantage over Trump, and Warren, a 78-point advantage); unmarried women (Biden has a 34-point edge over Trump, and Warren, a 32-point advantage); white unmarried women (an 18-point advantage for both Democratic hopefuls); Hispanic women (a 30-point advantage for Warren, and a 25-point edge for Biden); white Millennial women (a 12-point advantage for Biden and an 11-point advantage for Warren over Trump); and white college-educated women (a 14-point edge for Biden, and a 15-point advantage for Warren."

"In a new poll, a significant majority of American women who are registered to vote say they are not likely to support President Trump’s re-election effort in 2020, setting him up with a gender gap that may prove difficult to overcome.
In a June 1-2 Hill-HarrisX survey, 62 percent of female registered voters said they were unlikely to support Trump’s bid to obtain a second term. Fifty-three percent said they were very unlikely to back Trump while 9 percent said they were somewhat unlikely. Thirty-eight percent of women who participated said they were likely to back Trump.
In the 2016 election, exit polls indicated that 41 percent of women who voted chose Trump meaning that he has likely lost some support from women during his presidency."

"If President Donald Trump loses in 2020, it will be at the hands of women.
While the chance of a woman winning the Democratic presidential nomination for 2020 aren't too high at this very moment, female voters seem keen on kicking Trump to the curb.
An examination of recent CNN polls reveal that we could be looking at a record gender gap in the 2020 presidential election. For simplicity's sake, I'm comparing Former Vice President Joe Biden (the leader in the Democratic primary polls) to Trump. In general election matchups against all the leading Democratic candidates, a greater than 25-point gender gap existed.
Biden has held a 60% to 36% lead over Trump among women in an average of our last two (October and December) CNN/SSRS polls. The same polling put Trump up 52% to 42% among men voters. When you combine Biden's 24-point lead among women and Trump's 10 point lead among men, this makes for a 34-point gender gap."
