FOX 2 Mitchell Poll: Clinton's lead increases to 5 percent in Michigan
EAST LANSING, Michigan -- Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton increased her 3 percent lead Wednesday night to 5 percent Thursday night according to the latest Fox 2 Detroit/Mitchell Poll of Michigan. In the four-way ballot question that includes Libertarian Party candidate former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, it is Clinton 46% - Trump 41% - Johnson 7% - Stein 3% while 3% are undecided. Clinton has a 5 percent lead in the two-way race (50%-45%).
The survey was conducted by Mitchell Research & Communications November 3, 2016 and includes 1,007 likely Michigan voters. Data collection was by IVR (automated) telephone interviews and by delivery of an identical survey to the mobile devices of 18-40 year old registered voters. Only the responses of those who said they were voting or had already voted in the election were included in the results. The Margin of Error is + or – 3.1% at the 95% level of confidence.
“The key to Clinton’s increase is the movement among white women 45 and older. On Thursday night she improved with that group and her lead increased. Using a new methodology for polling 18-44 year old voters, we were able to capture the strong support Johnson and Stein have with younger voters. This stronger support for the two third-party candidates is an important reason Clinton dropped 1 percent and Trump 2 percent. This is not a major change, but enough to put Clinton on much stronger footing going into the election on Tuesday. Clearly, the campaigns still think Michigan is in play, which is why both candidates will have been in Michigan between Friday and Monday. However, Clinton is still in the stronger position,” Steve Mitchell, CEO of Mitchell Research & Communications said.
