AT/Rasmussen Reports poll: Harris has only a one-point lead in Michigan
By Andrea Widburg

When a candidate who is effectively the incumbent has only a one-point lead, but voters distrust her, think her opponent is more competent, and are unhappy with the status quo, that looks like a very shaky lead, indeed—and that’s all Kamala has got in Michigan. If enough voters disliked having her party’s nominal head (that would be Joe Biden) call them garbage or conclude that Harris really is responsible for the sad state of things, Trump might well win Michigan.

According to the poll, Michigan’s likely voters (LVs) have Harris at 49% and Trump at 48%. However, the ranking is reversed when it comes to competency, with likely voters giving Trump a one-point advantage (48-47%). Meanwhile, they’re pretty darn sure that Harris poses the greater threat to democracy (49-44%). In the upcoming contest for U.S. Senate, the Republican, Mike Rogers, is also ahead of the Democrat, Elissa Slotkin, by one point (46-45%).

Michigan’s lukewarm attitude toward the Democrats may be because they’re miserable. A full 63% of LVs say that they are not better off now than they were four years ago, and 53% worry about their children’s futures.

This is bothersome for a couple of reasons....

1. Raz is one of the few reputable pollsters out there, and their data is about as believable as it comes in this line of work.
2. The 3 rust belter swing states (PA-MI-WI) have voted in perfect tandem the past 8 elections.  Last disssesion among those 3 was in 1988.

If you are from those 3 states, or know anyone in those 3, they need to understand it is imperative to drag their friends and relatives to the polls.  It is that damned close.
