CLINTON WINNING MICHIGAN EASILY
Contact(s): Matt Grossmann , Cynthia Kyle , Andy Henion
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a wide lead over businessman Donald Trump among likely Michigan voters, winning support from women, educated and non-white voters, a new Michigan State University State of the State Survey shows.

Among likely voters, 47 percent said they would vote for Clinton, a Democrat, and 28 percent said they would cast ballots for Trump, a Republican. Libertarian Gary Johnson took 11 percent and Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein won 4 percent.

2. yeah!

love seeing his number so low! it restores faith in the american people.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

13. Really!

I needed to see that!

[livetohike]

3. Yay!!! Spin that Joe and Mika. I am not watching any news until when I get home from working at the

polls on Tuesday.

[rtracey]

26. I havent

I haven't watched for months. Cannot stand to see and hear Trumps face spew his vitriol.

[chillfactor]

51. I work the polls on Tuesday as well....

and have worked every other voting day here in NM as well....with everything that has to be done after the polls close down on Tuesday, including breaking down all of the polling booths and such, the election maybe called before I ever get home. I hope I get home before it does.

[Renew Deal]

4. Those numbers don't look right

But I hope they are

[Norbert]

6. I was thinking the same thing

These are numbers you would expect in California.

Maybe America is wising up.

[Divine Discontent]

25. I went to the link

It's a 60 day poll. I've never seen one of those..

"The survey was conducted Sept. 1-Oct 30 over cell phones and landlines"

A wonderful result, but strangely put together. Most polls are rolling 3-5 days.

[Thinkingabout]

5. Hope she wins the battleground states, shut Trump down on the east coast.

[jimlup]

7. We are Hillary's firewall and we will hold our ground!

Count my vote for Hillary - I turned in my absentee ballot yesterday.

Michigan is going BLUE.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. Please, may it be like this everywhere.

Women, educated and non-white voters get out there. We can do this!

[MisterFred]

46. ??

You are suggesting a lot of potential Clinton voters should stay at home.

[leftyladyfrommo]

48. No. Get out and vote.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. As a Spartan

I approve of this poll. Zero chance MI is going red.

[Dem2]

10. Sept1 - Oct30 polling interval

But decent result nonetheless.

[jcgoldie]

11. Great spread but

Still 10% undecided and it would be unprecedented if 15% voted 3rd party means still a lot of instability... would love to see her numbers over 50.

[molova]

12. Conducted September 1- October 30

Hillary is gonna win Michigan by about 7%.

[Adrahil]

15. Harry Enten said....

That this outfit one was of the better Michigan pollsters in the primaries, for those worrying about another Michigan surprise.

[awake]

16. Did they show Hillary losing the primary?

Most polls had Hillary way ahead in the Michigan primary this year.

[Renew Deal]

18. Hillary only lost by a few thousand votes

So the question is whether they had it close.

[awake]

19. Well did they?

[Adrahil]

21. They did not....

They showed her with about a 5 point lead, but were the best of the bunch in the final polling.

[awake]

27. Ok so not that we have established that the chickens have not yet hatched

Let us all get back to work to elect Hillary.

[Adrahil]

31. I NEVER count chickens....

But morale matters.

[kimbutgar]

17. We Clinton supporters should look at this poll in the opposite Cheeto 47% and Hillary 28%

And vote like our life depends on it because it does!!!!!

[grossproffit]

40. You got that right!

[cheezmaka]

52. Real Talk

I'm not taking anything for granted... We have a strong ground game in Michigan. Cheeto's got to go!

[workinclasszero]

20. Woohoo!

Drumpf is finished in 6 days!!!!!

[Divine Discontent]

29. I certainly hope so! He should lose by at least 5 points nationally. Hopefully she gets over 300EV

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. Ouch

[Coyotl]

23. Voters are not bamboozled by Trump any longer.

[DCBob]

24. Things starting to break for Hillary.

In a good way!

[Divine Discontent]

28. Hey DCBob!

It's a 60 day poll. Have you ever seen one that long?

[DCBob]

30. Never... but I will take it!

[Divine Discontent]

33. yeah, as long as it's positive news, we'll take it! Local Fox has her up SEVEN! :) Good news, as

that should be a firewall of protection from him even coming close in Michigan, and beyond the MOE. So, it's looking good Michigan will certainly go BLUE!

[DCBob]

35. Sounds good.

Yeah, I think we are solid in MI. Cheers!

[Divine Discontent]

37. CHEERS!

[book_worm]

32. Seems a bit high to me, but I'll take it as good news and positive news

that Michigan will stay Blue, as expected. Other recent polls show a smaller 5-7 point lead for her and Clinton herself is going to Michigan later this week to reinforce her lead.

[Divine Discontent]

36. Right!

We'll take the great news, but it's 60 day polling cycle is way outside the norm. The fact is Drumpf has no chance in Michigan with, as you mentioned, Hillary being ahead of him past the margin of error!

So, if we could just get a few points in Florida to separate them a bit, and hope for a squeaker in Ohio, she could easily get 350 even if she "only" beats him by 4 or 5 points nationally. I don't know where the LA Times is getting their numbers from, btw, they always have Trump ahead it seems, against everyone else's polling...

[AmericanMan1958]

38. I live in Michigan

Very few people I know and work with are not falling for Trump's Bull$hit!!
And I work for a very large corporation.
People I know who are Republicans have not been happy with Trump.
Those who are Trump supporters, are angry people and have few friends.

[asjr]

47. I live in a small town in TN. My friend was telling me about

the schools here are having "a voting day." Her grandchild, a girl, was livid about it when she was picked up at 3:00. Ranting and raving as only a young girl of 11 can do was telling her grandmother what happened. All in her class voted for Trump except her. She voted for Hillary' Her fellow students were making fun of her but knowing her they will not be doing that much longer. Don't the teachers realize those students were repeating what their family had said.
Next time that happens I told her to answer the question Why did you vote for her, she should have said "because I am not stupid." No other state could be redder than TN.

[elmac]

39. absentee ballets are up by 19%

from 2012. Voters registration up more then that. Yes, sniffles is going to get fired!

[roamer65]

41. MI is part of the Democratic firewall.

Drumpf's chances of winning here are nearly zero.

We will help elect Hillary Rodham Clinton the 45th POTUS with 16 EV's.

[llmart]

42. Yep!

I was never worried about Michigan. She's going to win big here. I already voted absentee over a week ago. I never considered it a battleground state.

Michigan - we've got this!!!! Now come on Ohio (my birthplace) - make me proud!!!

[Crowman1979]

43. Plus, the republican governor poisoning Flint's water with lead had something to do with it.

A Republican will never win any electoral votes from Michigan ever again.

[putitinD]

53. agreed. I live in Michigan, and everybody I know HATES Rick Snyder

[Grey Lemercier]

44. This is not about the stone cold fact that Hillary will crush Trump in MI. She will.

My beef is the inconsistency and selective favouring/disfavouring of "this poll" and "that poll" and this poll and......

When the ABC/Washington Post poll had Sec Clinton up 12 points people acted like it was gods lips to their ears. Then when it yesterday, after 9 days of crashing out, had Trump up 1(gag), it was satan run, a Putin poll, etc.

My point is that it was off both times, an outlier, even when it was in our favour.

NOW we come to this poll. By far the dominant narrative on here is that Stein and Johnson are shit, will be lucky to get 3 or 4% between them (with Stein sub 1%). I agree.

So why, why are so many praising a poll that gives these 2 cretin fucktwits FIFTEEN PERCENT???

We are the party of science and reason and intelligence. We should not play "I wish it was so and so it shall be" games. Leave that shite, that illogical mindset to the bible bangin Rethug scum.

[kwolf68]

49. Great post

The cherry picking here is obvious, but that's to make people feel good about things. The fact is Hillary has a tough road to go, this election will be close. Diehard Hillary supporters can't believe she is only marginally more popular than the buffoon she is running against, but alas that's the case.

[adigal]

45. Wasn't he just there?? I bet he's going places his fired pollster told him he is losing

Just to try to prove him wrong.

Keep going, Donnie!!
