Clinton Leads Trump By 5 Points In Latest Michigan Polls

LANSING (WWJ) -- At 34 to 29 percent, Donald Trump trails Hillary Clinton by five percentage points in Michigan as Republicans are gathering in Cleveland to nominate Trump as their Presidential nominee.

The statewide poll of 800 likely voters, conducted by Marketing Resource Group, showed that over 35 percent of Michigan voters are still undecided, looking at other candidates or are not sure they will even vote for in the Presidential election this fall.

Geographically, Clinton's strongest support comes from the metro Detroit area, where she leads Trump 40 to 27 percent. Trump's strongest area of the state is the northern Michigan, where he leads Clinton 41 to 20 percent.

Trump is currently leading among Michigan independent voters, 25 percent to 21 percent over Clinton, but Clinton's lead can be directly attributed to her strength with Democrats at 71 percent support, compared to Trump's support among Republicans at 63 percent support.

"If Michigan is going to be a toss-upstate, Donald Trump's goal during this convention should be to solidify his Republican base and start addressing issues that will attract women voters, especially Republican women voters, to his candidacy," President of MRG Tom Shields said.
