Despite a controversial phone call in 2020, Trump leads prospective 2024 voting in Michigan by 47% to Biden’s 39% in a recent poll. With 600 likely voters surveyed, only 3% favored another candidate, and 11% were undecided. Other candidates widen Trump’s lead by 12 points over Biden, marking a first-time lead in a Michigan election. Valid statistics from the Glengariff Group.

Michigan residents express their dissatisfaction with Biden’s first-term performance in recent polls. Negative sentiments toward Biden exceeded those for Trump, with only 17% favoring Biden’s reelection compared to 33% in support of a second term for Trump. Concerns about Biden’s age, competency, and mental acuity were frequently cited.

Despite the polls in Trump’s favor, Democratic contenders Whitmer and Newsom were found to be leading in hypothetical matchups. Gretchen Whitmer holds a four-point lead over Trump, while Gavin Newsom trails Trump by only 5% in recent polling. However, Whitmer’s allegiance to Biden and commitment to serving her term until 2026 may complicate the picture for the Democratic party.

These poll results align with others that show Trump leading Joe Biden by 2 points in Michigan, a crucial swing state. Michigan’s Governor’s continued support for Biden will present challenges for the Democratic party, especially considering the recent negative sentiment towards the current President. A potential Democratic pathway to victory in Michigan remains possible, but won’t be easy.
