Republican nominee Donald Trump holds a slight lead over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in Michigan on the eve of Election Day, according to a newly released poll.

Trafalgar group, a Republican leaning firm, surveyed over 1,200 “likely general election voters” in the Great Lakes state on Nov. 6.

Trump garnered 48.52 percent support, while Clinton received 46.82 percent support.

Just talked to my brother who lives in Greenwood, IN just south of Indy.
He got to his polling place at 5:15am and waited in line almost 1.5 hours to vote! He got out of there at 6:36am He said it was a sea of red shirts in line...LOL...he got his mug on TV while waiting in line. Checked his distance from the polling place (over 100’) and yelled “GO TRUMP”!!! Everybody in line cheered.

Close margin between the two candidates,

But I always remember, Hillary was suppose to win the Michigan primary big time and Bernie defeated her.

The key to winning Michigan is for precincts to NOT report vote totals until after Detroit/Wayne County reports.

Thanks for the good analysis MM. Amd you forgot to mention the Trumpocrats, if which there are many acrissues the fruited plains, and which I think will overy helm the #nevertrump-ers.

Let’s try that again: Thanks for the good analysis MM. Amd you forgot to mention the Trumpocrats, of which there are many across the fruited plains, and which I think will overwhelm the #nevertrump-ers.

Is that a true quote from Janet Reno ?

I know I know, shouldn't talk ill of the dead, but LOL

Yes, some indicators suggest there is a.very suppressed turn out for Democrats.
I voted in person Saturday to make it for voting. Right now I have my 8 year old and our 92 year old with me 30 miles from my voting area.
Bottom line we drove to a weekend voting place (one of 7 in LA county) slowest i’ve ever seen it. So few liberals were out voting. Though CA is not in play, this may play out throughout the state.

I watched Trump’s midnight rally in Michigan last night.
Unbelievable enthusiasm!
And to think 20,000 attendees will be exhausted this morning and they don’t care.

For those that think Michigan is a blue state, got some news for ya'.

We might even have a president by the end of the day to top it off.

In the meantime Michigan is a red state with an enormous blue dot on it.

As of this morning:

MI has a conservative, republican backed State Supreme Court.
 
MI has a republican Governor.
 
MI has a republican Lieutenant Governor.
 
MI has a republican State Senate.
 
MI has a republican House of Representatives.
 
MI has a republican Attorney General.
 
MI has a republican Secretary of State.
 
MI has a republican congressional margin by a 2:1 ratio.

There is no democrat at the state level elected statewide.

Just got back from voting Trump in Michigan! So did my niece, her ex husband, her current husband, my sister, my sister-in-law & 2 brothers.

[PJ-Comix]

How good is the past track record of the Trafalgar Group for polling?

[Unkosified]

I forgot to add that the line was out the door. I live in a rural area and usually there isn’t any line at all. In past elections, you could just walk in and vote.

“Win or lose tomorrow, the GOP needs to work tirelessly on turning the rust belt states (other than Illinois) red. Doing so would offset Dem gains in the southwest and Virginia.”

—

What’s wrong with returning the Land of Lincoln to its roots? (and who says the Dems will gain in the southwest?)

[uncommonsense]

My brother in South Lyon (NE of Detoilet) said the line this morning was HUGE. Probably a good sign.
