Polls suggest Trump campaign is in deep trouble in Michigan

(Detroit Free Press) Polls suggest President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is in deep trouble in Michigan, as it appears to be across a handful of key states he won in 2016, with women increasingly rejecting him and previous levels of support among older voters and voters without college degrees lagging.

Nationally, Joe Biden, the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee, has an 8-percentage-point lead on Trump on average in the polls, according to RealClearPolitics.com, a website that does election analysis. And after a brief surge nationally in late March/early April, Trump's job approval ratings have fallen, with an average of 55% of Americans disapproving of Trump's presidency in the wake of the president's threats to impose military order on civilian protests over police killings of blacks and the deaths and economic upheaval caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Only 42% approve.

It's no better in Michigan, where a recent EPIC-MRA poll shows Biden leading Trump by 12 points and the RealClearPolitics average of polls showing Biden 7 points ahead in Michigan — more than any other state won by Trump four years ago. That only underscores the fact that some election handicappers think that Michigan, relative to most other battleground states he won, is less likely to back him again.

"The only poll that matters is the poll in November," said Laura Cox, chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, referring to the Nov. 3 election, who added that the party's internal polls have the race closer than the public polls. "The president and the RNC (Republican National Committee) are heavily invested in Michigan. ... His pathway to victory is through Michigan." ...............(more)
