Former President Donald Trump now leads Joe Biden by twelve points in Michigan.
The Democrat took the battleground state in 2020 by a very narrow margin.
The Detroit News and WDIV-TV released the new statewide poll on Tuesday.
When given a list of Trump, Biden, and third-party candidates, Trump led Biden by 12 points.
“Trump’s lead over Biden widened to as much as 12 points when voters surveyed were given a list of third party candidates. Biden, the current president, and Trump, the former president, are widely expected to emerge this year as their parties’ nominees.”
In a hypothetical head-to-head match-up between just the current president and the former, 39 percent of likely general election voters said they prefer Biden, while 47 percent support Trump.
The pollsters report, “47% of likely voters said they preferred the Republican, while 39% selected Biden, an 8-point advantage for Trump, according to the survey with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 points. In addition, 3% said they would vote for another candidate, and 11% said they were undecided.”
“If I were a Democrat in Michigan, I would be breaking the emergency fire alarms in the White House and demanding to know what the plan is for Michigan,” Richard Czuba, founder of Lansing-based Glengariff Group, which conducted the poll, told The Detroit News. “Because these numbers are very bad for any party incumbent.”
When asked if they believe Biden had performed well enough to deserve to be reelected, only 17 percent said he deserves another shot — 77 percent said that they were ready for a new leader.
Asked the same question about Trump, 33 percent of the poll’s respondents said Trump deserves a second term, while 62 percent said they would prefer someone else.
The Detroit News reports:
Three years into his first term, the survey found 29% of participants had a favorable impression of Biden but 58% had an unfavorable impression. The numbers demonstrated a significant drop in support for the Democrat, a former two-term vice president and longtime U.S. senator from Delaware. In September 2020, ahead of the November 2020 election, a similar poll of likely Michigan voters found 43% had a favorable impression of Biden.
Likewise, 50% of participants in the new survey said they “strongly” disapproved of the job Biden is doing as president. Another 11% said they somewhat disapprove for a total disapproval percentage of 61%. Only 35% said they approve of Biden’s performance, and 4% didn’t offer an answer.
“He is who he is. And that’s who he’s going to be. I can expect Trump to be Trump,” Bennario Chapman, a 29-year-old self-described independent from Muskegon who participated in the poll, told the pollsters. “And I can go for somebody who stands in their own truth. Biden is not that.”
Positive outlooks not allowed on FR! /sarc
We would be lucky if they resorted to just fraud but there are more violent options for their side IMHO.
But, Trump may be building such a lead in swing states like Michigan that fraud may end up being impossible.
>>>AMEN!!! Hopefully, his strategy to SWAMP—and expand the electoral map—will thwart any attempted cheating in 2024.
The risk for Trump is they move to other methods to keep him out of the White House.
Also, polling like this makes them more likely to get rid of Biden.
Fraud is not the only trick democrats have up their sleeve.
They can switch candidates
They could place a call to the Hillary suicide hotline
Just to name a few.
These people aren’t going to quit easily. They have cheating down to a science using minors, the senile and the dead and illegals. Things may get ugly.
You've never visited Wayne County
“the most important election in any of our lifetimes”
-said every election in my lifetime.
Yeah, I think this time the real problem is that they’ve scared a lot of the opposition into not answering polls correctly as well, so a lot of Biden votes are suddenly going to become trump votes. My wife, who is not political at all, asked me to help her register as she will be voting trump. It really surprised me.
People are desperate. Anyone with a memory remembers they never used to blow this much money on absolute failure. Obama’s Solyndra disaster was a drop in the bucket compared to all the junk Biden has blown money on.
This is HUGE!
Fixed it.
If Trump wins the election I swear Obama and his ilk will try to seize power saying they have to save democracy. It will be an incredibly perilous time between the victory and Jan 20th.
What do you mean “compete for those harvested ballots” as if they were legitimate? If a ballot is “harvested”, it is taken out of competition.
That’s like making any vice legal. If you cannot guarantee that the ballot is legitimate, then this is legalized cheating.
Trump has been leading in polling in thr rust belt states for nearly 5 months now…
Not much has changed. Minus the fraud, Trump won by several points in all the swing states in 2020.
“fraud may end up being impossible.”
I don’t know, the Dems magically gained on average around 500,000 new voters (from the election before) in all the swing states. This was statistically impossible before and everyone turned a blind eye.
