The poll, conducted between October 2-8, shows that 42 percent of likely voters in Michigan would back Trump or would lean toward backing Trump for president in a race versus Biden. Conversely, 35 percent would support Biden or would lean toward voting for him, putting him at a significant disadvantage in a state that was pivotal in deciding the last two presidential elections. More than one in five voters say they would vote for someone else or would lean toward another candidate.
“If the rematch takes place, it will be unique and considered like two incumbents running against each other; both have saturated name ID, records to defend having served in the same office, and voters have strong opinions one way or another about their candidate choice,” said MRG owner Jenell Leonard in a press release.
“The waning support for President Biden from his base should be concerning to his party,” he added. “It conveys they no longer have faith in their candidate; they lack the confidence that he can win re-election. This is a candidate problem, not a party problem.”
Speaking with the Detroit News, Leonard expanded on the dynamic.
“If the base doesn’t show up, they could likely see themselves in the same situation as they saw in 2016,” he said.
Michigan was one of several Rust Belt states that helped propel Trump to the White House in 2016, as he beat out twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by more than 10,000 votes. Biden won

So Whitler is going to be their candidate?
She should be in prison.
They probably do not have to cheat as much with Whitmer as they would have to with Biden.
Yep, I’ve long said they will put up Whitmer as the hope for the first Female President.
Michiganders are obviously not very bright people.
People in Michigan CITIES and on their COLLEGE campuses are not very bright people...pretty much the same everywhere. :-)
Michigan elites are now woke. All of them have drunk the cool-aid and believe in struggling against the patriarchy.
Much of the Michigan GOPee have always been cryptoDemocrats.
I suspect Whitmer not even CLOSE to being ready for national politics.
Agree 100%
Good, nothing better than a full frontal flop from a Presidential candidate. We'll see, it's a long time until the Super delegates at the Summer 2024 Dem convention tell Democrats who their candidate will be w/o the input of the voters.
if only polling could account for democrat cheating.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona....Trump is stomping Biden in swing states.
Newsom/Whitmer is the ticket, almost for sure.
Again, PLEASE stop with the “Biden” nonsense.
He’s not going to be the candidate, if he’s even alive in a year.
How Trump or anyone else is doing against “Biden” is meaningless.
Latest Georgia poll has Trump at +9 over Brandon. Very good early news.
whitner is a disaster as governor
like it or not, gets by on looks
You assume we actually voted her in - for 2020, we know there were 10’s of thousands of fraudulent voter registrations that were reported to the State police, only for them to be sent to the FBI - where nothing has been done.
Trump (who actually won in 2020) leads Biden (who cheated the 2020 election and who is not actually running in 2024) ...
Trump has been winning head to head polling in the rust belt for about 3 months now....
The Media is FINALLY paying attention to it... clearly the reason is to get this out in the public after trying to hide/ignore it for months, to pressure Biden out and have a different nominee.
