Harris, Trump in ‘almost tied race’ in Michigan: DDHQ president

( NewsNation ) — According to Decision Desk HQ President Drew McCoy, the race for Michigan between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris can be expected to go down to the wire.

Like fellow Midwestern neighbor Wisconsin, the Great Lake State is central in the race for the White House.

Trump won Michigan in 2016 but lost it to President Joe Biden in 2020, for whom he was up against for almost all of this election cycle.

“I expect it to be a very tight race, somewhere probably between what we saw in 2016 and 2020,” McCoy said Monday on “NewsNation Live.”

“It’s very fine margins. When we look at the polling, we look at the averages. This is … well within the margin of error,” he added.

Per Decision Desk HQ’s latest Michigan poll averages , Harris leads Trump 48.2% to 47.4% based on 30 polls.

Nationally , DDHQ has the Democratic nominee ahead by 3.4 percentage points, 49.6% to Trump’s 46.2%.

“We also see sometimes the polling doesn’t necessarily reflect his strength,” McCoy said of Trump.

“So, when you see these very small, one, two, 3% margins for either candidate, it’s really a very close, almost tied race.”
