Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden in Michigan, a key state that could determine the outcome of the November presidential election, according to a recent poll by Quinnipiac University. The poll shows Trump with a three-point advantage over Biden, with 48% of registered voters in Michigan supporting Trump compared to 45% for Biden, and 8% undecided.
Independents in Michigan also favor Trump over Biden by a narrow margin of 46% to 42%. The survey, conducted from March 8-12, includes third-party and independent candidates, with Trump at 41%, Biden at 36%, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 10%, Jill Stein at 4%, and Cornell West at 3%, with 5% undecided.
The release of the Quinnipiac poll coincides with President Biden’s campaign efforts in Michigan, following recent visits to Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Biden narrowly won all six of these states in the 2020 election, securing his victory in the presidential race.
With over seven months until Election Day on November 5, Trump currently holds an early lead in public opinion polling, both nationally and in key battleground states. A Fox News poll in Arizona shows Trump ahead of Biden by four points, while a poll in Pennsylvania indicates a two-point lead for Trump, within the survey’s margin of error.
The upcoming election presents a rematch between Biden and Trump, highlighting their differing styles, policies, and approaches to key issues such as the economy, healthcare, immigration, and foreign policy. Biden, at 81 years old, faces questions about his stamina and ability to energize key Democratic voter groups, while Trump, at 77, must navigate legal challenges and appeal to a diverse Republican base.
As the campaign unfolds, both candidates will need to address their strengths and weaknesses to secure support from voters across the political spectrum. Stay tuned for more updates from the 2024 campaign trail as the race for the presidency heats up.
