A recent survey from Mitchell Research has found that former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in Michigan.
Trump reportedly leads Biden in the state by two percentage points, 49 percent support to Biden’s 47 percent support.
“Trump leads in the two-way race because he has solidified the Republican base better than Biden has solidified the Democratic base,” Steve Mitchell, president of Mitchell Research & Communications, Inc., said.
“Trump is getting 92% of the GOP vote compared to Biden’s 89% of the Democrats. More importantly, Trump is getting 9% of the Democrats while Biden is getting only 4% of the Republicans. Biden is leading with the important group of voters, independents 49% – 43%,” Mitchell continued.
Last month, an I&I/TIPP Poll, found Trump to be leading Biden among independents.
The survey revealed independents favor Trump over Biden in a head-to-head race by a five-point margin, although 15 percent remain unsure.
The overall survey showed Biden and Trump nearly tied in a matchup with third-party candidates included, with Biden garnering 39 percent support and Trump seeing 38 percent support.
TIPP Insights notes that this is significant because “independents in the last election favored Biden 54% to Trump’s 41%.”
