***One Of Bernie's Best Michigan Polls*** A + Rated Monmouth Poll Biden 51% Sanders 36%
West Long Branch, NJ Joe Biden holds a lead over Bernie Sanders in the crucial Michigan
primary contest according to the Monmouth (Mon-muth) University Poll. The poll also finds both
Democrats with a slight edge over President Donald Trump in hypothetical general election matchups.
Among Michigan voters who are likely to participate in the Democratic primary tomorrow,
support currently stands at 51% for Biden and 36% for Sanders. Another 1% back Tulsi Gabbard, 6% say
they will vote for a slate of uncommitted delegates, and 2% are undecided. The remainder support one of
the candidates who have recently dropped out of the race. This latter group comes almost entirely from
the 17% of likely primary voters who have already sent in an absentee ballot.
Biden leads Sanders among both white voters (50% to 36%) and voters of other races (53% to
36%). Biden is winning voters age 50 and over (62% to 24% for Sanders) by a larger margin than
Sanders is winning those under 50 years old (49% to 38% for Biden). Women prefer Biden to Sanders
(53% to 33%), while men prefer Sanders (49% to 39% for Biden). Michigan does not have party
registration, but the poll finds Biden with a strong lead among self-described Democrats (59% to 30% for
Sanders), while voters who call themselves independents or Republicans are split between Sanders (44%)
and Biden (41%).
