A new AARP survey released on Thursday indicates that former President Trump is ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in the critical pivot state of Michigan.
In the battleground state, Trump leads Harris with 45 percent support to her 43 percent among likely voters, while 8 percent indicated that they would support a third-party candidate.
Nevertheless, the results indicate that Trump and Harris are deadlocked at 48 percent in a head-to-head comparison.
The AARP commissioned the poll, which was jointly administered by the Republican polling firm Fabrizio Ward and the Democratic polling firm Impact Research.
The poll also revealed that Trump maintained a two-point lead over Harris among voters aged 50 and older, even with a third-party candidate on the ballot.
In Michigan’s Senate election, the results also indicate that some Democrats are performing well down the ballot. Among all likely voters, Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) is leading her Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, by 47 percent to 44 percent. Eight percent of voters are uncommitted. However, the two Senate candidates are tied at 48 percent among voters over the age of 50, with 8 percent of them remaining undecided.
The survey, which was commissioned by the AARP, was conducted from August 7-11 among 1,382 prospective voters.
