Harris and Trump within margin of error in Michigan: Poll
Vice President Harris has a small lead over former President Trump in Michigan, a new survey shows, but the results are within the margin of error.
The poll, conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University, found Harris leading with 48 percent to Trump’s 45 percent. The results are within the poll’s 4.4 percent margin of error.
Just under 5 percent of Michigan voters still remain undecided about who they will vote for in the election, now just six weeks away. Nearly all voters, 93 percent, say their mind is made up, the survey found.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who ran as an independent but recently suspended his bid in the battleground states and endorsed Trump, will still appear on the ballot in the Great Lakes State. Michigan's Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that Kennedy’s name would remain in the critical battleground state, despite his attempt to be removed.
About 1 percent of Michigan voters said they will vote for him this fall, even after he backed the GOP nominee,
Among male and female voters in the state, the electorate was split. The survey found most Michigan women voters support Harris, garnering 56 percent support from women compared to Trump's 37 percent. Men prefer Trump over Harris, with 54 percent supporting the former president to 39 percent who backed the Democratic nominee.
Independent voters slightly favor the former president over Harris, 42 percent to 41 percent.
The USA Today survey is reflective of other polling. Harris has closed the gap on Trump in several key swing states, including Michigan, but pollsters warn the results are still as close as ever since many results fall within the survey's margin of error.
According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's polling index, Harris has a 1.2 percent lead over Trump in Michigan. She’s remained ahead of the former president in the state since shortly after she entered the race, following President Biden's decision to step aside and endorse her candidacy.
The USA Today/Suffolk survey was conducted Sept. 16-19 among 500 likely voters and has a margin of error of 4.4 percent.
