Donald Trump is now tied with Kamala Harris in Michigan, a new Telegraph poll shows, amid concerns about the state of the US economy and border security.
Both candidates are now tied on 47 points each, reversing an upward trend for Ms Harris in Michigan since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race on July 21.
The latest poll of 820 people, carried out by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for the Telegraph, casts doubt on Ms Harris’s route to 270 electoral college votes, which relies on a strong performance in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Michigan is one of the so-called “blue wall” of states that generally support Democratic candidates, and which fell to Trump in 2016.
It has voted for a Democrat in every election since 1992, other than in 2016 when it backed Trump over Hillary Clinton.
The Telegraph’s swing state tracker shows that Michigan swung towards Ms Harris in late August, giving her a three-point lead that she maintained until early September.
Between September 16 and October 2, Ms Harris’s lead fell to two points, and has now been erased.
>U slash TheTelegraph tells us The Telegraph is reporting The Telegraph’s poll shows Harris and Trump tied.
Perfectly organic group bombs this with updoots just like the perfectly organic group that bombs all of our actual conversations with downdoots.
Look forward to the 6-10 people who visit each poll thread telling us to shut up and stop being optimistic about the polls, unless all of those people are conspicuously absent this one time in particular despite showing up in absolutely all the other threads.
