Poll: Harris holds edge over Trump in Michigan; voters still undecided
(The Center Square) – While Vice President Kamala Harris continues to lead former president Donald Trump in favorability, nearly 25% of Michigan voters have not yet decided on who they will vote for in November, a poll released over the weekend reveals.
American Greatness and TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics conducted an online survey of 1,001 registered Michigan voters from Aug. 20-22. The weighted sample consisted of 35% Democrats, 33% Republicans, and 29% independents.
Consistent with recent polling, Harris maintains a slight lead over Trump, 48% to 46% among the 741 respondents the survey identifies as likely voters. The results fall within the poll’s ±3.7 margin of error.
Although 70% of voters on both sides say they strongly support the candidate they’ve decided on, 24% of all voters surveyed say they are still deciding on who to vote for.
The results come as 64% of voters say they were better off four years ago at the closing of Trump’s term, with 29% preferring their situation now.
Trump continues to lead by a significant margin on the top issues voters are concerned about, with all voters surveyed trusting Trump over Harris 49% to 43% on the economy and 56% trusting Trump to handle the border, versus only 34% preferring Harris.
On improving national security, respondents chose Trump over Harris 52% to 39%. Voters favor him slightly over Harris, 45% to 41%, when it comes to cutting spending.
Voters believe Harris would better reduce crime than Trump, though the margin is only by 1 percentage point. Cartel-related crime, violent crimes, and theft have risen across the country during the Biden-Harris administration, which Trump has repeatedly lambasted on social media.
Regarding the state’s U.S. Senate race, Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin still leads former Rep. Mike Rogers at 49% to 39% among likely voters surveyed.
