The president of the League of American Workers (LAW) said the presidential election in Michigan is going to be determined by voter turnout by American workers.

"My organization has been doing polls all year long, but the only poll that matters is Election Day,” Steve Cortes, president and founder of LAW, told Great Lakes Wire. “And in battleground states like Michigan, this is going to come down to voter turnout.”

“If American workers who are sick of higher grocery costs, higher housing costs, and illegal aliens taking their jobs turnout in Michigan, Donald Trump is going to win this race,” Cortes said.

Former President Donald Trump (R) and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) are tied in Wisconsin in the 2024 race for the White House, according to the last poll of Michigan voters released by TechnoMetrica.

An August poll by America Greatness showed Trump and Harris close at 45% and 46% respectively in a head-to-head matchup among likely voters, with 5% of voters preferring RFK Jr. as the poll was taken before he suspended his campaign to endorse Trump.

In a two-person race, Harris led by 2 points, with 48% compared to Trump's 46%, which the poll noted is within the margin of error for the findings.

24% of voters surveyed said they have not firmly decided and are willing to change their minds before November. 44% of Michigan voters said their neighbors are voting for Trump, 36% said their neighbors are voting for Harris, and 20% of voters are unsure.  44-36%

54% of voters said the economy is among their top three issues. The majority, 64% of Michigan voters, said they were better off financially under President Trump.

Regarding the economy, Michigan voters prefer Trump over Harris 49% to 43%, and 52% of voters would trust Trump over Harris to improve national security, while 39% of voters would trust Harris over Trump. 

In regards to the border, 56% of voters said they prefer Trump rather than Harris be in charge of immigration, while 34% said they would before Harris over Trump. 

Only 28% of Michigan voters are against Harris’ pro-reparations stance.

The American Greatness/TIPP survey was conducted online between August 20 to August 22 among 741 registered Michigan voters who were likely to vote in the November election.
