When accounting for third-party candidates, Trump’s lead against Biden grew to 12%.

Significantly, only 17% of respondents stated that Biden deserves another term as the nation’s leader; 77% of respondents said they wanted someone else in the White House.

Biden previously won Michigan by three points in the 2020 presidential election.

Last month, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to remove Trump from the state’s 2024 Republican primary ballot.

However, the Colorado Supreme Court on Dec. 19 and Maine’s secretary of state on Dec. 28 disqualified Trump from appearing on their respective state primary ballot in 2024. The disqualification, which was made under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, is related to Trump’s alleged role in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
