It appears those visits are working for the Trump campaign. According to Rasmussen poll results released on Tuesday, Trump has a two-point lead over Harris. This is down slightly from Monday’s lead, with polls tracking daily results.
The latest Rasmussen Reports found that if the election were held today, 48% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for Trump and 47% would vote for Harris. Two percent (2%) say they’d vote for some other candidate and two percent (2%) are undecided.
Michigan is one of seven battleground states that are predicted to swing the election. A Real Clear Polling report shows Trump up 1.2% over Harris.
