Former President
Donald Trump has an advantage over President
Joe Biden in Michigan for the 2024
elections, with a sizable portion of Biden supporters shifting their votes to the GOP candidate, according to a latest poll. The poll found a “huge gender gap” between the two candidates. Among
Women, President Biden has an 11 percent lead while among men,
President Trump has a 17 percent lead. In terms of age group, President Trump has a “huge” lead among 18- to 44-year-olds and a “very strong” lead among 45- to 64-year-olds. Racially, Trump has a lead with white voters but trails among African Americans. Regarding voters who are neither white nor African Americans, he leads by 33 percent. “The big question for both
Democrats and
Republicans is whether African Americans and younger voters who are flirting with the
Republican Party will continue to do so as the
election grows closer,” said Steve Mitchell, president of Mitchell Research. “Even if they do not, the huge 10 percent enthusiasm gap favoring Republicans might be enough to push Trump over the goal line in November.” President Trump was leading in Wayne County, Macomb County, and in Northern Michigan. President Biden led in the City of Detroit, West Michigan, and Oakland County. Other polls have pointed to President Trump having an edge in the Michigan presidential elections. President Biden was found to be trailing President Trump by significant margins when it came to young voters and Independents. “The most expensive vehicle now to operate in the state of Michigan and 2024 is your grocery cart,” he said, adding that there has been an increase of $1,000 under the Biden administration in the prices of goods, “from your bread and your eggs and your cheese.” While 89 percent of 2020 Trump voters support the GOP nominee in the upcoming elections, only 83 percent of 2020 Biden voters extend the same support for the Democrat candidate. “For the seventh successive week, Trump’s net favorability rating among all voters is higher than Biden’s, though both candidates remain underwater. Biden’s net favorability rating has bested Trump’s just once since late September, in mid-January,” the poll stated. This month, the Republican Accountability PAC announced the campaign launch in six states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada,
Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. “The campaign features one- and two-time Trump voters from across the country—including swing states—who walked away due to January 6, his 91 felony counts,
Ukraine, and other issues,” said a press release from Republican Voters Against Trump. “Their voices will be elevated using a surround-sound approach, deploying ads on television, streaming, radio, billboards, and digital media in critical swing states.” The majority of Americans believe there is a Democrat conspiracy against President Trump in the context of the several legal cases filed against him. Fifty-six percent of voters replied “yes,” with only 30 percent saying “no.”
