Second Michigan poll shows Trump even farther behind, with Biden leading by 16 points

Source: The Detroit Free Press

The damage done to President Donald Trump's standing in Michigan following recent protests outside the White House and in cities across the U.S. may have been even greater than originally believed, a new poll released to the Free Press said Tuesday.

Two weeks ago, EPIC-MRA of Lansing, a polling firm that does work for the Free Press, released a survey showing former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, leading Trump 53%-41% in Michigan, a 12-point edge.

But a second poll, started on May 31, a day after the first poll began, and concluded a day later, on June 4, showed Biden leading Trump 55%-39% in Michigan, a 16-point margin. As it did for the first poll, EPIC-MRA surveyed 600 randomly selected likely voters for the second one, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

I think the story went under the radar for most, but it is infuriating and a deadly threat to every American.

He's going to get clobbered in Michigan. He stole the state in 2016 and some of us will never forget that. We're going to work our butts off to make the gap even wider and push those redneck teabaggers back under their rocks.

Go Michigan! Get out the vote!

Clinton's 2.268M votes get thrown in the dumpster. What a ridiculous and 200+ year old outdated way to come up with a Presidential "winner" and claim that State was Trumps by the "will of the people". BS.........

She loses Wisconsin by 0.77% and loses 10 Electoral votes
She loses Pennsylvania by 0.72% and loses 20 Electoral votes

Total of 1.72% less votes for Clinton between the three. Not going to happen this time and IQ45 knows it.

12. Trump in Michigan

Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2016. The best way to give him Michigan again is to celebrate carrying Michigan by 16 points 4.5 months BEFORE the election. Do we like polls like this? Sure. Should we not campaign like crazy in Michigan? Are you NUTS? That's what Hillary did.
