The Free Press/EPIC-MRA poll shows the former vice president with a 24-percentage point lead over the Vermont senator following his Super Tuesday wins.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, riding a wave of momentum from primaries in South Carolina and Super Tuesday states, comes into Tuesday’s Michigan primary with a 24-point lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders in a new Detroit Free Press poll.
On Friday night before a rally at TCF Center in downtown Detroit, Sanders, when asked about a recent poll that showed him trailing Biden by 7 percentage points in Michigan before the March 3 Super Tuesday rout, noted that the polls had been wrong four years before. And he has been doing so, with rallies in Detroit, Dearborn, Flint, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor.
The new poll shows the youngest age group it measured – 18-34 – making up 21% of Tuesday’s electorate. Among them, Sanders is still ahead of Biden, 58%-17%, with a large number of undecided voters, 19%. If they all break toward Sanders on Election Day, it could help him close the overall gap with Biden quickly. But Biden is winning every other age group. Looked at as two blocs – those under the age of 50 and those over – Sanders wins the younger bloc, 43%-33% with 15% undecided.
For one thing, a new law making it far easier to vote by absentee ballot has resulted in some 600,000 ballots already having been cast. Depending on when the majority of those were sent, and which candidate appeared to have momentum at the time, those absentee ballots will play a key role. Among the 57% who said the most important thing was beating Trump in November, Biden got 61% of the support, to 21% for Sanders. To Porn, that is a matter of many of Sanders’ proposals being seen as too radical and a sudden questioning of his campaign.
In Michigan, according to the poll, Biden clearly wins among black voters, leading Sanders 46%-24%. But with 25% still undecided, the poll suggests that the level of support might not be as high as in other states. .@JoeBiden has served our country with dignity and we need him now more than ever.
