Harris, Trump tied in battleground Michigan polling

Date: 2024-10-30

Vice President Harris and former President Trump are tied in the battleground state of Michigan, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday found the two candidates receiving 47 percent support each. The poll’s overall margin of error is 4.4 percentage points.

Those results are largely in line with an aggregate of Michigan surveys compiled by Decision Desk HQ, which shows Harris at 48.5 percent and Trump at 48.2 percent.

The USA Today/Suffolk University poll also found Harris narrowly edged out Trump in the swing county of Kent County, 47 percent to 46 percent. The margin of error for the county polling is 5.7 percentage points.

Trump won Kent County by 3 points in 2016, but President Biden won it by 6 points in 2020.

The new polling underscores an increasingly tight presidential match-up between Trump and Harris less than a week out from the election.

Michigan is one of seven key battleground states that will determine who heads back to the White House next year. Trump was last in the state Saturday, while Harris traveled to the state Monday.

The USA Today/Suffolk University poll was conducted Oct. 24-27, with 500 likely voters surveyed for the statewide survey and 300 likely voters questioned in Kent County.
