Emerson Michigan Poll Results: Trump Leads Harris by 1% - Insider NJ
“With one week until Election Day, the race remains a toss-up,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “The survey finds the important voting block of Michigan union household voters breaking for Harris, 55% to 41%, while non-union household members break for Trump, 52% to 46%.”

Voters were asked, regardless of who they support for president, who they expect to win. Half of voters (50%) expect Kamala Harris, while 49% expect Trump to win.

In the US Senate Election, 48% support Democrat Elissa Slotkin, while 46% support Republican Mike Rogers. Six percent are undecided.

“While independent voters slightly break for Trump on the presidential ballot 47% to 45%, in the U.S. Senate race they support Slotkin 49% to 40%,” Kimball noted.

The top issue for Michigan votes is the economy at 48%, followed by immigration (9%), healthcare (9%), threats to democracy (8%), and abortion access (8%),

  • Voters who say the economy is their top issue break for Trump 63% to 33% and immigration 96% to 4%, while voters who find healthcare to be the top issue support Harris 72% to 23%, and threats to democracy 90% to 10%.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer holds a 51% job approval rating, while 42% disapprove of the job she is doing. President Joe Biden holds a 39% job approval, while 53% disapprove of the job he is doing as president.

Forty-nine percent hold a favorable view of Vice President Harris, while 51% have an unfavorable view of Harris. Half (50%) have a favorable view of Trump, while 50% have an unfavorable view of the former president.

In a recent Emerson Michigan poll, President Donald Trump is leading Democratic nominee Kamala Harris by just 1%. The poll, conducted among likely voters in Michigan, shows Trump with 48% support compared to Harris’ 47%.

This narrow margin reflects the tight race in Michigan, a key battleground state that Trump won by a slim margin in the 2016 election. With just weeks to go until the November election, both campaigns are likely to intensify their efforts in Michigan to secure the state’s crucial electoral votes.

The poll also reveals some interesting trends among Michigan voters. Trump continues to have strong support among white voters, particularly white men without a college degree. Harris, on the other hand, is leading among Black voters and women.

The economy and healthcare are top issues for Michigan voters, according to the poll. Trump’s handling of the economy remains a key factor in his support, while Harris’ healthcare proposals are resonating with voters concerned about access to affordable care.

It’s important to note that polls are just snapshots in time and can fluctuate as the campaign progresses. Both candidates will likely continue to make their case to Michigan voters in the coming weeks, with debates, campaign events, and advertising playing a crucial role in shaping voter opinions.

As the race in Michigan tightens, every vote will count. Both campaigns will be working hard to mobilize their supporters and persuade undecided voters in this critical swing state. Stay tuned for more updates on the Michigan poll results and the overall state of the presidential race.
