Vice President Kamala Harris got a worrying sign in Michigan, a critical swing state in November’s election, in a poll released on Friday.
While it remains a close race between Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, and Harris, the vice president has been doing better in Michigan for the past month. Harris was nominated to be the Democratic Party‘s nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on July 21. However, a new poll shows that the former president is ahead of Harris by 1 point in the battleground state.
A survey conducted between August 23 and 26 by EPIC MRA, a polling firm in Michigan, found that 47 percent of the 600 respondents polled would vote for Trump and 46 percent would vote for Harris. However, the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent, meaning that the results represent a statistical tie.
The poll had a fairly even mix of Republicans and Democrats. A total of 43 percent of respondents identified themselves as Republicans while 41 percent identified as Democrats. Thirteen percent identified as independent.
