MICHIGAN, Oct. 8, 2024 ~ A new poll shows Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is gaining momentum over Republican candidate Donald Trump in Michigan, though the state is expected to be razor-thin.

A new Detroit News/WDIV poll found that Harris is up 3 points at 47-44% in Michigan, a key swing state that will decide the November election. Detroit News politics reporter Craig Mauger said Robert F. Kennedy Jr. still has some support, despite dropping out of the race in August.
