Kamala Harris holds 1-point edge in Michigan, new poll shows

Michigan remained a crucial swing state too close to call as Vice President Kamala Harris led Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by a mere percentage point, a new poll found.

Of the 908 likely Michigan voters who participated in a telephone and online survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports and American Thinker from Oct. 24 through Friday, Harris led Trump 49%-48%, with the 1% backing another candidate and 2% undecided going into the final weekend of the campaign.

The poll, released Saturday, had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

An earlier poll by Rasmussen Reports and American Thinker released two weeks ago had Harris and Trump tied at 48% each.

There are 16 electoral votes up for grabs in Michigan, one of seven battleground states expected to decide the election.
