Michigan is still Harris by .2 if you use the non-winger polls:

https://www.270towin.com/2024-presidential-election-polls/michigan

If you average MIRS, Redfield (a winger poll) WSJ (winger) GSG, Quinnipiac, Research, Glengariff, Harris is holding 2 tenths ahead.

Harris can still win if she loses MI but gets PA and North Carolina.

So, it's the 3 states at this point: PA, MI and NC. If Harris steals AZ it's game over. Just like 2020. Entirely possible.

I live in Michigan, she's going to win here. We have ease of voting laws here. 9 days of early voing. Same day registration. Our laws ensure people get to vote, that means she has a huge advantage here.

but, yeah I believe right wing polls are skewing the averages in all the swing states and nationally

But it remains to be seen. Since so many people retire there, it's less predictable. There are voters there from all over the northeast.

90% of the early vote is age 41 and older. So when the younger women show up later, they can balance out the winger Nov 5 vote.

I still feel strongly that, at this point, polling averages cannot be trusted.

Which means she will probably carry Michigan by anywhere from 4 to 6 points, given their prior accuracy.
