Former President Trump and Vice President Harris are deadlocked in a tie in the battleground state of Michigan, with both candidates polling at 47% among likely voters. The poll surveyed 500 likely voters from Oct. 24 to Oct. 27, with a margin of error of 4.4%. Despite dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. still received roughly 1% of the vote in Michigan, as efforts to remove his name from the ballots were unsuccessful. The poll results indicate a tight race between Trump and Harris in Michigan, as well as nationally, where their lead has narrowed to just one point.
Millions of voters have already cast their ballots for the Nov. 5 election, with a Tuesday poll showing a decrease in Harris’ lead compared to an earlier poll conducted in October. Harris’ lead over Trump on key issues like extremism and threats to democracy has also shrunk, from 7% in an earlier poll to just 2% in the most recent one. Another poll conducted earlier in the week found Trump and Harris tied in Wisconsin, with Trump leading by 48% to 47%. Wisconsin is one of three Rust Belt states that voted for Trump in 2016 but flipped back to the Democrats in 2020, with President Biden winning the state by a narrow margin.
The Reuters poll surveyed 1,150 U.S. adults, including 975 registered voters, showing a tight race between Trump and Harris both in Michigan and nationwide. The results of the poll indicate a highly competitive election, with early voters in Wisconsin already casting over 850,000 ballots by Monday morning, while nationwide more than 41 million votes have been cast.
