In Michigan, Clinton led Trump 41%-32%, with Johnson taking 7% and Green Party nominee Jill Stein getting 3%, according to a Detroit News / WDIV-TV poll. The recent poll included Johnson and Stein, but if the two are omitted, the Democrat’s 15-point lead bumps up to 17 points.

Pence, who campaigned in Denver and Colorado Springs on Wednesday, said he spoke with Trump in the morning “about my support for Paul Ryan and our longtime friendship”.
Both states are regarded as among a handful that are up for grabs.
Clinton is ahead of Trump by 9 points, 41% to 32%, among likely MI voters, according to a Detroit news/WDIV-TV poll.
Almost two in three (62 percent) of those who watched the Democratic convention reported that they were more likely to vote for Ms. Clinton, while two in five (40 percent) of those who watched the Republican convention said it made them more likely to vote for Mr. Trump.
Among independents, the poll found Clinton holding a lead of 6 percentage points, 37-31. But on the other side of the aisle 57% say they are against Clinton rather than because they are for Trump. But keep in mind that Trump’s proposed Muslim ban – which many predicted would sink Trump’s candidacy – didn’t knock him off his first-place standing in the Republican primary contest.
When asked whether Trump is fit to be president, 63 percent responded no. Similarly, just 40% of Clinton supporters say they’ve talked about the election with a Trump supporter, while 72% say they have talked about the election with other Clinton supporters.
If Coloradans, who favor Clinton in polls at the moment, want an anti-fracking president they may have to look beyond the two lead presidential parties.
Not only did Clinton’s numbers go up, but Trump’s went down: she widened her lead to 48-33 this month from 42-39 in last month’s iteration of the poll.
The CNN/ORC International survey shows Clinton surpassing Trump by 9 points, 52 percent to 43 percent.
“We don’t rely simply on polling”, says Sabato, whose head-to-head predictive matchups between Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had led to a Democratic win ever since March. She has a -13.3 percent net favorability rating, her best marks since late March.
