A recent poll conducted by the Glengariff Group reveals that former President Donald Trump is currently leading President Joe Biden in the state of Michigan. This finding suggests a significant shift of support away from the current White House. In a head-to-head election scenario, Trump received 47% of the respondents’ support, while Biden was chosen by only 39%. The survey also highlights a concerning level of doubt regarding the fairness and accuracy of the upcoming 2024 elections.
The poll, commissioned by the Detroit News and WDIV-TV, surveyed 600 likely voters in Michigan between January 2 and January 6. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4%. When factoring in third-party candidates, Trump’s lead against Biden grew to 12%. Additionally, only 17% of the respondents believed that Biden deserves another term as the nation’s leader, while a staggering 77% expressed a desire for someone else in the White House.
Comparatively, 33% of the voters surveyed expressed a belief that Trump deserves another term in office, while 62% stated that someone else should be elected. These numbers highlight a significant decline in support for Biden since the 2020 presidential election, where he won Michigan by a three-point margin.
It is worth noting that the Michigan Supreme Court recently rejected an attempt to remove Trump from the state’s 2024 Republican primary ballot. However, the Colorado Supreme Court and Maine’s secretary of state have disqualified Trump from appearing on their respective state primary ballots in 2024. This disqualification stems from allegations of Trump’s involvement in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and is based on the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The survey results suggest a growing dissatisfaction with the current administration and a shift in support towards Trump. These findings may have significant implications for the political landscape in Michigan and potentially impact the 2024 elections. As the campaign trail heats up, it will be crucial to closely monitor these shifting dynamics and their potential consequences.
