RON’S COMMENT: This EPIC-MRA poll is the second in a row showing Biden beating Trump in Michigan by double digits. The previous Detroit News poll had Biden ahead by 12…. This is a real problem for Trump, who won the state’s 16 electoral votes in 2016, albeit by a thin two-tenths of a point…. The following is from the poll report:
- Region: Biden has a 57%-35% edge in metro Detroit, but also leads the outer ring of Detroit’s suburbs, 62%-35%, and in northern Michigan, 46%-42% according to the poll. Trump holds smaller leads of 3 percentage points in central and west Michigan and in and around Bay City.
- Age: Biden leads among all age groups but had an especially large lead—65%-to-27%—among younger voters ages 18-34.
- Race: While white voters split between the two candidates with 47% each, African Americans supported Biden 95%-3%.
- Party: While Democrats supported Biden 93%-2%, 83% of Republicans support Trump and 12% back Biden. Among independents, 48% support Biden, 36% support Trump and 16% are undecided.
