The state’s largest voting bloc is still up for grabs, AARP’s Michigan state director told Newsweek.
Vice President Kamala Harris has taken the lead from former President Donald Trump among a key voting group in Michigan, a new poll shows.
Harris now has a double-digit lead over Trump among Michigan voters over 65, pulling in 53 percent support, according to a new AARP poll released Tuesday. Trump received 42 percent support among the state’s oldest voters. In August, Trump lead by 6 points, drawing 48 percent to Harris’ 42 percent.
AARP’s October poll showed a dead heat in Michigan, with Harris and Trump tied at 46 percent among all voters, Robert F. Kennedy—who has since dropped out and endorsed Trump—still receiving 3 percent and other candidates combining for 2 percent. Another 2 percent remain undecided. In a head-to-head match, Trump leads by just one point in the swing state.
Trump narrowly won Michigan by some 10,000 votes in 2016, making him the first Republican to win the state since 1988, while Joe Biden flipped it back in 2020 with approximately 154,188 votes.
