    A new poll of Michigan voters by Suffolk University/USA Today shows a tie race between Republican former President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in next Tuesday’s presidential election.

    Michigan is one of the few states expected to decide the outcome of the election, along with Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Democratic President Joe Biden won Michigan in 2020 against Trump, who won the state in 2016.

    The latest polls have shown a near-toe deadlock between the two major party candidates in the race in Michigan.

    The new poll showed Trump leading Harris 47.4% to 47%; That’s within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 points. In this poll of 500 Michiganders, the difference represents just two voters.

    Green Party candidate Jill Stein and former Natural Law Party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who dropped out of the race but remained on the ballot. He got 1.4 percent, independent Cornel West got 1 percent and Libertarian Chase Oliver got 0.2 percent. Independent Joseph Kishore also got 0.2 percent votes.

    Only 1.4% of survey respondents said they were undecided or refused to answer. Suffolk University surveyed people between last Thursday and Sunday.

    In the race for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, Democratic U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Holly leads former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican from White Lake, 47.2% to 45.5%, the poll shows. He showed that he was leading within his share. About 5% of those polled in this race were still undecided.

    Poll results for the presidential race revealed a wide and nearly equal gap between voters of different genders; women supported Harris with 57%-38%, and men supported Trump with 57%-37%. White voters were split 53 percent to 43 percent for the Republican former president, while Black voters were split 82 percent to 15 percent for the Democratic vice president, who would be the first woman in the United States, the first black woman and the first woman of South Asian descent if elected. be president

    While both Democrats and Republicans expressed broad support for their respective party’s candidates (exceeding 92 percent in each case), voters who identified as independents voted much more evenly, with Harris leading by a 46 percent to 42 percent margin.

    For the poll, Suffolk University also oversampled Kent County, a key county in West Michigan that Biden won by 6 percentage points in 2020. The results showed Harris leading there by 1 percentage point, 47.3%-46.3%. For these results, 300 likely Kent County voters were polled and the margin of error was plus or minus 5.65 percentage points.
