DETROIT - Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 9.4% among likely Michigan voters, according to a Local 4/Detroit News poll conducted after the Republican and Democratic national conventions.

The Glengariff Group, Inc. conducted a 600-sample, live operator telephone survey of likely November 2016 Michigan general election voters. The survey was conducted from July 30-August 1, 2016 and has margin of error of +/-4.0% with a 95% level of confidence. 65% of respondents were interviewed by landline telephone. 35% of respondents were interviewed by cell phone telephone.

Clinton led Trump 41% to 31.6% with 14.2% of those surveyed undecided in the survey. Libertarian Gary Johnson got 7.5% support from respondents, while Green candidate Jill Stein received 3.4% of the vote. Six respondents, or 1% of the vote, volunteered they would vote for Bernie Sanders. Sanders was not an option in the survey.

Michigan voters felt Clinton was more qualified to be president than Donald Trump and favored her on major issues. The survey found 57% of Michigan voters felt Clinton was qualified to be president, while 61.2% said Trump was not qualified to be president.

4. I said Trump would never be winning Michigan....

We sure should not be in anyone's "toss-up" column. 'Leaning Democrat', perhaps, but this poll isn't really even close.

'Detroit News' leans very Republican.

7. Yes, and it claims 65% were landlines. This means likely skewed toward older folks at home

who tend to be old republicans. Her numbers could be even bigger. Who knows for sure?

9. Well we did elect Snyder so..........

I was not too sure. Sounds great. I hope it comes true.

In my book Snyder was a snake not hiding in the grass and look how that turned out, twice.

5. In 2012

didn't pollsters finally conclude they were off because the polling
undercounted households without landline phones? Millennials and
cell phone only people were not polled enough?

Could be the same to some extent this year, plus the only people home
answering their landlines during the day are older white men. The women
have gone to work and are not allowed to answer the phone in chauvinist
households.

Any of which implies the polls could be worse for Trump than they are
measuring.
