Trump tops Harris by 1 point in battleground Michigan survey
Former President Trump is leading his Vice President Harris, by 1 point in a head-to-head matchup in the battleground state of Michigan just three weeks before Election Day, according to a new survey.
The AARP poll, released Tuesday, shows Trump edging out his Democratic rival by 49 percent to 48 percent in the Great Lakes State, well within the margin of error. Another 1 percent said they would choose another option, while 2 percent remained undecided.
When the contest was expanded to include independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Green Party hopeful Jill Stein, the party nominees were tied with 46 percent. Kennedy brought in 3 percent support, Stein received 1 percent and 2 percent were undecided, the poll found.
Broken down by age, the former president led Harris 47 percent to 46 percent with voters between 50 and 65 years old. The vice president pulled ahead of Trump with young voters ages 18-34, garnering 54 percent support to her GOP rival's 40 percent. Harris also held the lead with voters over the age of 65, bringing in 53 percent support to Trump's 42 percent, the survey shows.
Both White House contenders had strong backing from their party's base, but the poll found a large gender gap. Trump led by 21 points among men, 57 percent to 36 percent, while Harris topped him among women, bringing in 55 percent to Trump’s 36 percent, according to the poll.
Trump had a 7-point lead with independents, 45 percent to 38 percent, pollsters noted.
As early voting has kicked off in several battleground states, polling also shows the former president with a minimal lead, 48 percent to 47 percent, over Harris with early voters in the battleground states, according to a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris survey.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate of polls in the state shows Trump leading the vice president in Michigan by less than 1 point — 48.7 percent to 48 percent. Harris, however, is leading nationally with 49.8 percent to the former president's 46.9 percent, the index shows.
The AARP poll was conducted Oct. 2-8 among 1,382 likely voters and it has a margin of error was 4 percentage points.
