Deadline Detroit | Poll: Trump leads Biden in Michigan 49%-42%

Donald Trump and Joe Biden

This poll will undoubtedly cause even more headaches for Democrats.

An exclusive Detroit Free Press poll of 600 likely voters in Michigan shows former President Donald Trump with a 7 percentage point lead, Freep reports. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 points.

“It’s just going to increase the pressure on Biden to step aside and let someone else take his place,” Bernie Porn, the pollster for EPIC-MRA in Lansing, told the Freep. “The Democrats are in a tough spot.”

The poll will undoubtedly fuel the movement to oust Biden, 81, and put a younger candidate in charge.

The Freep reports:

The poll showed Trump, who held a rally in Grand Rapids on Saturday night, leading Biden 49%-42% in a head-to-head matchup, with 9% undecided, who said they would not vote for either candidate or declined to answer. In a five-way race, Trump led 43% to 36% for Biden, 8% for independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and 2% each for Green Party candidates Jill Stein and independent Cornel West. Again, 9% said they either would not vote for the president, would choose someone else or were undecided.
