The latest poll of Michigan voters shows Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton increasing her lead over Republican opponent Donald Trump to nine points among likely voters.
Clinton leads 41-32 in the latest Glengariff Group poll, conducted for the Detroit News and WDIV-TV shortly after the Democratic National Convention.
In the same poll, Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson polled at 8 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein received 3 percent of the vote.
Among the major party candidates, this poll shows an increase in popularity for Clinton in Michigan, compared to a May poll where she led Trump by four points in a head-to-head race by the same pollster.
The poll was conducted by Glengariff Group from July 30-Aug. 1 among 600 likely Michigan general election voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
Trump camp: We expected drop in polls
“Drop”? How about the entire bottom dropping out, helped by a yuge vacuum pump. That’s the large sucking sound you hear.
Stick a fork in it, Donnie’s done…
Trump: “There’s something wrong with these polls. I’m hearing it a lot. I get thousands at my rallies (and my campaign has given away thousands more tickets to people who can’t even get in). So these polls can’t be right.”
I think we’ll see that the new equilibrium in polling is an 8-10 point average lead for Clinton nationally with Georgia and Arizona as battleground states. That will last at least until the debates. What’s more, I think Clinton has a very real chance of winning Utah this year and might be the first Democrat since Lyndon Johnson to win more than 400 EC votes. Thank you Donald.
Did he actually say that, or are you just making stuff up?
Another of the “rust belt” states Chuck Todd insists Trump can put in play. Baring a big scandal this election is over. On to winning the senate and positioning the party to take the house.
