Contributing sentiments towards policy:
50% : But a poll conducted by Bloomberg News/Morning Consult between July 24 and 28 showed Harris with an 11-point lead over Trump in the state.47% : Along a 42-mile stretch of hilly backroads in Ingham and Livingston counties, east of Lansing, dozens of signs advertised a local "U-Pick Festival," equestrian summer camps and down-ballot politicians, but only one flag and one sign for Trump was visible -- and none for President Biden or presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
42% : As Joan Saunders headed into Christians Greenhouse in rural Williamstown to shop for plants, she said she's "for Trump," but doesn't have a sign or flag supporting his candidacy outside her home.
42% : "People love Trump and everything, but some people are tired of his antics," said Kraft, 52.Kitchen, 47, added that she's "not afraid to put a Trump sign in my yard" in nearby Roseville, but she thinks many people will opt out of that ritual this year.
37% : In 2016, Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Michigan by only about 11,000 votes; four years later, Biden won the state by more than 150,000 votes.
23% : "Some rural and suburban Michiganders also reported a general sense of unease and even fear, particularly those who say they were spooked by the attempted assassination of Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania last month.
20% : "I think a lot of people are voting for the lesser of two evils," Gene Gibson said of Trump and Harris.
19% : For months before Biden dropped out of the presidential race on July 21, polling consistently showed Trump beating the president in Michigan, typically by fairly slim margins.
18% : Trump carried Macomb County by just 8 percentage points in 2020, a far smaller margin than in rural counties such as Osceola, where Trump commanded more than 72% of votes, and Gratiot, where the former president defeated Biden by more than 28 percentage points.
