Sanders is in 2nd place AHEAD of Warren in 3rd….
Biden keep’s his lead ….
But the other two have made gains…
The top Democrats ALL lead Trump in a state he was able to claim, barely in 2016….Sanders by the most….This IS a good poll for Sanders…
The newest Emerson poll in Michigan finds former Vice President Joe Biden still leading the Democratic primary in the state with 34%, followed by Senator Bernie Sanders at 28%. Compared to Emerson’s March poll of Michigan voters, Biden’s support has shrunk from 40%, and Sanders has gained 5 points from 23%. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who was at 11% in the state in March, is now in third at 19%. Mayor Pete Buttigieg is at 8%, Senator Kamala Harris, who was at 12% in the state in March, is now at 3%. (n=454, +/-4.6%)
With voters in the 18-29 age range, Sanders holds a very strong lead with 73% of the vote, and competes with Warren for the 30-49 year olds, with both Senators tied at 28%. Among those over 50, Sanders struggles to take 10%. Voters over 50 are heavily breaking for Biden, who gets 53%
Spencer Kimball, Director of Emerson Polling, noted that “in 2016, Sanders was able to shock the political establishment by winning Michigan, and it looks like his base of youthful support positions him do it again on March 10th.”
When asked if Secretary Hillary Clinton should run for president again in 2020, 70% of Michigan Democrats said she should not run, 18% said she should, and 12% were unsure.
The majority (50%) of Michigan voters disapprove of the President, compared to 43% who approve. 47% support impeaching Trump, and 43% are in opposition. In the Republican primary, President Trump has a strong lead over other candidates, with 92% of the vote…..
…
In general election matchups against the President, leading Democratic candidates Biden, Sanders, and Warren all lead Trump by a magnitude that is outside the margin of error.
Update….
Morning Consult poll just dropped ….
More good news for Sanders who is TIED in this poll…
Warren’s healthcare plan rollout may be shown hurting her in this polling and subsequent polling….She drops as Biden and Sanders gain….
Surprising that Amy Klobuchar (DFL) does so poorly in Michigan (vanishing into insignificance with Steve Bullock, Michael Bennet, and several others who’ve already dropped out).
Minnesota borders both Iowa (where she polls better than nationally) and Michigan (where she vanishes). Last time Minnesota voted Republican was 1972 (Nixon over George McGovern from neighboring South Dakota); but both Iowa and Michigan voted for Bill Clinton twice, Al Gore and Barack Obama twice before going over to Trump. [Michigan also voted for John Kerry in 2004, while Iowa voted for G.W. Bush’s re-election. On the other hand, Iowa voted for Dukakis in 1988, while Michigan voted for G.H.W. Bush’s initial election]
Right now?
Polling wise?…
The race is between ….
Biden
Warren
Sanders
Buttigieg
The rest of the filed is in the single digits….
Dave, Minnesota does not border on Michigan
Michigan (the UP) and Wisconsin border on Lake Superior. But they don’t share a labd border.
My pocket atlas does show a land border between Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula, as well as one between Wisconsin and Minnesota.
But something like 50-100 miles of Lake Superior separates the coast of Minnesota from that of Michigan.
My original error, but otherwise you’re both right.
Dave, If this is the biggest mistake you made today, then you had s great day🏆
