Trump near top of pack in Michigan, Clinton leads GOP field
Source: Public Policy Polling
PPP's newest Michigan poll finds a four way cluster at the top of the Republican field- Scott Walker's at 15%, with Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump all right behind at 14%. Marco Rubio at 9%, Mike Huckabee at 8%, Chris Christie and Ted Cruz at 5%, and Rand Paul at 4% also all make the top 9. Rounding out the field are Carly Fiorina and John Kasich at 3%, Rick Santorum at 2%, Lindsey Graham and Rick Perry at 1%, and Bobby Jindal and George Pataki with less than 1%.
...snip...
On the Democratic side Hillary Clinton leads with 57% to 25% for Bernie Sanders, 5% for Lincoln Chafee, 2% for Jim Webb, and 1% for Martin O'Malley. The numbers show that there are places beyond New Hampshire where Sanders is getting significant levels of support, but at the same time he's still trailing by 32 points. Clinton is polling over 70% with African Americans, over 60% with women, and over 50% with liberals, moderates, whites and voters in every age group. The only group she doesn't get a majority with is men at 48%.
Clinton also leads the entire Republican field for the general election by margins ranging anywhere from 3 to 10 points. Her average lead of 7 points is a little less than what Barack Obama won the state by in 2012 but a good deal more than the 3 point win John Kerry had in the state in 2004. The Republican who comes closest to Clinton is Rand Paul, who lags by 3 points at 45/42. Next best are Scott Walker who trails by 4 at 46/42 and Mike Huckabee who's down by 5 at 47/42.
...snip...
While Clinton leads the entire Republican field in Michigan, none of the rest of her Democratic counterparts lead Scott Walker in hypothetical contests in the state. Walker leads Bernie Sanders by 4 at 39/35, Martin O'Malley and Lincoln Chafee by 5 at 37/32 and 36/31 respectively, and Jim Webb by 7 at 38/31.
