DETROIT – Democratic presidential candidates hold a lead over President Trump in Michigan heading into the 2020 election, according to a new WDIV/Detroit News poll.
The newly released poll shows where Michigan voters stand on various issues, including Impeachment and voter motivation, as well as potential election matchups heading into the 2020 election cycle.
2020 Presidential election:
Voters were asked if they would vote to re-elect President Trump or vote for someone else. 51.5 percent of voters would vote to elect someone new with 46.3 percent definitely voting for someone new. 35.5 percent of voters would vote to re-elect President Trump with 29.0 percent definitely voting to re-elect the President.
Among Independent voters, 27.3 percent would vote to re-elect the President while 46.2 percent would elect someone new.
Joe Biden continues to hold a 7- point lead on Donald Trump in Michigan. The second strongest contender is Mike Bloomberg who holds a 6-point lead. Bernie Sanders holds a lead of 4.2 percent just outside the margin of error. But Pete Buttgieg and Elizabeth Warren are in a dead heat against Donald Trump in Michigan.
There continues to be a massive gender gap in Michigan with Biden holding a 22 percent lead among women while Trump holds a 9 percent lead among men.
Among Independent voters, Biden holds a 6-point lead on Trump. But Trump holds a 6-point lead among independents against Warren.

Poll: Clinton widens lead in Michigan as Trump’s presidential support slides
If Detroit News's poll methodology remains unchanged, and current trends persist, it's likely that Trump will win MI by a larger margin than in 2016, since Hillary had a 12-point lead in its 2016 poll, whereas Biden, who polls best against Trump in the state, only has a 7-point lead.
WDIV is NBC and Detroit News newspaper flipped leftist long ago...‘nuff said.
Michigan is quite rust belt. Many remember and long for the good old days of many good-paying factory jobs and the ancillary businesses. Dearbornistan and Rashida Tlaib bother a great many, too.
It’s like NY and MN — big city with rats, everywhere else with patriots.
BULL SPIT.....
However, let them believe this nonsense...
There is absolutely no way Trump will lose any state he took in 16 to any Democrat....
Keep pushing the narrative though... will make election night that much more enjoyable.
Gee, they were only off by 13 . . . a month before.
He will win by about 3 points.
Warren et al either even or ahead of President Trump in a poll? Oh, look, it's *my ass* again.
Wishful thinking, hardly a guaranteed fact.
Trump won many important states (FL, MI, NC, PA, WI) by small margins in 2016. There are "absolutely" many ways he could lose those states in 2020 -- don't discount the motivating value of 24/7 media-induced hatred that has been going on since even before the 2016 election.
The brainwashed punkies of #GenerationSnowflake are a lost cause aside from the small percentage who think for themselves, and there are many others, fantastic as it seems (gullible geezers, for example) who still believe whatever they see on TV or the internet. The campaign of lies and hatred has been particularly effective among the Permanent-PMS Skanks of Suburbia (have we forgotten 2018 already?).
We like to believe that the media's hatred energizes our side too, but who was more motivated 2 years ago? Why won't they be as motivated, if not more, this November?
The key, aside from massive Democrat voter fraud which will be at unprecedented levels in 2020, is turnout. It sure would be wonderful if it were true, but to think Trump already has 270 electoral votes in the bag is a dream.
Mmmmmmm.....those were the heady days when 2016 Hillary was a "shoo-in."
So now w/ these numbers, I guess we better get busy and remind everybody that "2020 Biden is a shoo-in"........
ROTFLOL.
I hear MI Democrap women are counting on Hunter (The Zipper) Biden making a campaign appearance with his Dad.....cackle.
I agree. There are about a 100 Electoral Votes that he won by small margins in 2016, which he could lose by small margins this year. This talk that he has 270-300 EVs sewn up is wishful blustering.
Sorry, I live in PA... I have lived in the rust belt since the mid 80s... believe me, there is ZERO, absolutely ZERO chance any Democrat is winning any state Trump took up here in 16.
It was obvious that Trump was taking up here in 16, I stated as much, many times before the election.. I told folks Trump will take every state up here except IL and MN... and he may even take MN..
Election day I was proven correct.
Anyone who think that these states are “in play” in 20, don’t remotely understand this region, or exactly how and WHY Trump won here in 16.
It was obviously from the start of his Campaign is strategy was to march right up through this region and he was going to take them.
After 4 years of some of the best economic outcomes this area has seen in almost 20 years, there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO chance Trump will lose any of these states in 20.
Trump has delivered BIG time, PA has the lowest unemployment numbers since they started tracking them, and PA is not the only one.
I LOVED election night 2016.. I knew by about 10pm Hillary had assuredly lost PA... but the press were all on MI and WI for hours before they even realized SHE’D LOST PA.. by larger margins than either of the other states.
Believe me, I have NEVER seen the type of support for a GOP candidate in this region in the entire time I have lived here. Yes if you are in the Urban centers you don’t see it, but you get outside them and its Trump everwhere... And this has been going on since he won, its not just the election cycle stuff..
There is ZERO chance Trump will lose any state up here.. again if you think so you don’t understand how and why Trump won, or who he attracted to do so, and how much more of them he will be getting this fall.
Rush was saying that the untold story of the rallies Trump holds in these swing states is that a large percentage of those attending these rallies in 2019/2020 did NOT vote for Trump in 2016.
Trump has not lost a single voter that voted for him in 2016 unless they died. His performance will only improve in all the swing states.
The question is how much can the Democrats improve or fraud there way to more voters.
Another inaccurate poll LOL. Polling has never been a great “science”, and with social trends, they are pretty worthless now, except for MSM fodder. Big data is where it’s at now.
A lot better ways to know where the public stands on issues now. I read a story yesterday about the MSU hiring of Mike Leach. The search firm selectively leaked several names on social media, and then monitored public reaction to various candidates. Pretty cool.
I admire your confidence and I hope you are correct, I just feel it’s a bit premature to assume that 2020 is in the bag for Trump.
I’m in PA too — the same state where Democrats swept everything in their path in 2018, something which also happened in other Rust Belt states like Michigan & Wisconsin in ‘18.
A few of the PA House seats flipped due to the partisan Democrat gerrymandering which was mandated by the partisan Democrat PA supreme court, but that explains nothing about how Wagner & Barletta lost statewide. Sure, Wagner was a bad candidate (so they say) but Trump tried everything to defeat Empty Suit Casey and it still didn’t work. There are always excuses when losses occur.
Scott Walker was ousted by some far-left nutbucket in Wisconsin, and the Permanent-PMS crowd got their way in the Michigan Governor race; liberal Senators were easily re-elected in OH, MI, PA & WI. That’s the reality, and while things may be different in 2020 I wish I could believe it is 100% guaranteed to be different.
Fake poll. Excepting Dearborn, Michigan voters aren’t that stupid.
I call B.S. This poll is never accurate.
