Yet another new poll from an Upper Midwest battleground state shows the presidential race is too close to call, in the latest sign that Democrats are.
Yet another new poll from an Upper Midwest battleground state shows the presidential race is too close to call, in the latest sign that Democrats are reconciling themselves to Vice President Kamala Harris atop the ticket.
The Detroit News–WDIV-TV live-dial poll, conducted July 22 to 24 in the wake of President Biden leaving the presidential race, shows presumptive Democratic nominee Harris leading Republican nominee Donald Trump by one of the most statistically insignificant margins possible.
Just 0.3% separates the two candidates: Harris has 41.6% support, Trump 41.3%. This lead is well inside the 4-point margin of error.
When Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, rumored to be in the VP mix, is counted as Harris’ running mate, the math improves incrementally for Dems: Harris leads in that scenario 43.6% to 41.3% but does not escape the margin of error even with a calculated home-state play. This suggests an all-woman ticket may not provide the electoral juice some Democrats think.
With neither the vice president nor the former president close to majority support, third-party candidates loom large in the Wolverine State.
