Sen. Harris, along with 4 other Dems, leads Trump in Michigan according to recent poll

[Kaleva]

"South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (6 points), U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts (4 points) and Kamala Harris of California (3 points) polled ahead of the president in the Glengariff poll, but the advantages of Warren and Harris were within the 4-percentage-point margin of error.

Democrats who turned out in large numbers in the 2018 mid-term — helping to generate the most state voters in a gubernatorial race since 1962 — remain highly motivated heading into next year’s presidential contest and complicate Trump’s path to re-election, said pollster Richard Czuba.

“What we saw in Michigan in 2016 wasn’t this giant surge of Trump voters — it was an absolute apathy on behalf of independents and leaning Democrats to vote,” Czuba said. “We’re seeing the exact opposite heading into 2020.”"

1. Congrats to Sen. Harris, but it's worth noting that Bidens leads Trump by double digits. n/t

[Kaleva]

2. I think this shows that anyone of the top tier candidates has a good chance of winning.

5. Exactly

Things will start changing after the debates start, and nobody can make the claim that only "one" candidate stands a chance against trump! I expect to see a lot of changes in the poll numbers before the end of this year. Some will drop out, some will outshine others, it's all going to change.

3. As does Bernie, let's be fair.

They're both leading by 12. Pete and Warren lead by 6 and 4, respectively.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. Let's be real, Bernie won't be the nominee if he can't make it out of the primary, and recent....

polling suggests that Warren's rise is coming from former Sanders supporters. I have no doubt that she will soon eclipse him.

[HerbChestnut]

15. It doesn't matter

Selectively presenting information in an attempt to boost your candidate comes off as being petty. It also doesn't convince anybody when it's that obvious.

16. By "selectively presenting information", do you mean the op? Cuz that's exactly what he/she did.

[HerbChestnut]

18. Yes exactly

And others have pointed that out.

4. You left out a couple of names from that article, didn't you?

Both former Vice President Joe Biden of Delaware and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont showed 12-point margins over the first-term Republican incumbent in a Glengariff Group public opinion survey of 600 likely voters released to The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Local 4). Three other Democrats included in the poll were preferred over Trump by less substantial margins.

Why did you do that? Both of those men have twice as large a margin as Mayor Pete and four times higher than Senator Harris.

Didn't you think that was important enough to include in your excerpt? You changed the article's title, too. I think that's really odd, frankly.

[Andy823]

6. Someone else posted about Biden

being ahead by 12, but they left out everybody else, so there is that.

[MineralMan]

7. I posted based on the original post.

I didn't leave anyone out. Was I incorrect?

[Andy823]

11. It wasn't you

[MineralMan]

12. Yah, OK, then...

[MineralMan]

13. That wasn't right, either

News is news. Editing for DU doesn't work, and the bias is obvious. Just post the story, then add your own interpretation.

[Kaleva]

10. The title is my own and is accurate. This isn't LBN last time I checked.

The purpose of my post is to show that polls indicate that all 5 of the top tier Dem candidates, which includes Senator Harris, lead Trump in Michigan.


Your comment:

"Why did you do that?"

Last time I checked, I'm allowed to talk up the candidate I prefer. I did not say anything critical or negative about any of the other candidates.

[Bradshaw3]

19. It's obvious what you did and in fact Harris' lead is within the margin of error

The other three are not. Saying she has a good chance to beat tRump there is not a conclusion to be drawn from the poll. Plus your headline is misleading for an obvious reason.

[Kaleva]

20. From the article itself

"Both former Vice President Joe Biden of Delaware and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont showed 12-point margins over the first-term Republican incumbent in a Glengariff Group public opinion survey of 600 likely voters released to The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Local 4). Three other Democrats included in the poll were preferred over Trump by less substantial margins."

The title of my OP is accurate.

Your comment:

"...Harris' lead is within the margin of error"

Which also means that Harris's lead could actually be larger then the poll indicates.

8. Looks good for Michigan. Glad I read the actual link or I wouldn't know both

Biden and Sanders were doing so well.

[Kaleva]

17. Michigan is winnable for all the top tier candidates.

9. This rings true to me...rump has turned off just about every single group in this country, ...

and continues to gutter mouth any and all. He constantly proves what an idiot he is. And the Senate is close behind...complicit and unwilling to step up to their constitutionally mandated duty of removing an obviously incompetent and incapable so called president. They should be hammered constantly in the campaign to come...
