Poll: Clinton holds 7-point lead in Michigan

[RandySF]

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has moved to a 7-percentage-point lead in Michigan over Republican Donald Trump in a statewide poll conducted after the candidates’ first debate Monday night.

Clinton leads Trump 42 percent to 35 percent in a four-way race and maintains a seven-point lead in a two-way matchup against the New York billionaire, according to the poll commissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV.

About 9 percent of likely voters said they favor Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, 3 percent are siding with Green Party candidate Jill Stein and 9 percent remain undecided in the poll of 600 likely voters conducted Tuesday and Wednesday by Glengariff Group Inc.

After Monday’s debate, 62.5 percent of voters said Trump is unqualified to be president, compared with 57 percent who believe Clinton is qualified after years in the public spotlight as first lady, U.S. senator and U.S. secretary of state.

“The problem for Trump is the debate was the prime opportunity to shift that perception that he wasn’t qualified,” said pollster Richard Czuba, president of the Glengariff Group Inc. “That should have been their No. 1 goal in the debate to come off as a qualified, calm leader.”

1. 3rd party more than 1%

Any poll with a 3rd party higher than 1%, I disregard.

They should only poll 2 options with how bad Johnson and Stein are.

5. They should only poll 2 options with how bad Johnson and Stein are.

Gary Johnson's self-destructing faster than one of those cassettes that run on the beginning segment of Mission Impossible. I have a few friends who are NOW voting for Hillary instead of Johnson, a few who aren't voting period who were going to vote for Johnson who now SEE what I've been trying to tell them about him. The guy's a dim-bulb whose agenda is VERY right-winged once you get past his aw-shucks nature. He's dangerous and not much of anything he says involves deep thinking or inflection. I'm just happy he's been exposed with roughly a month left to go before the election. Don't see how many young voters and others are so in love with this guy because if they ONLY take a peep at his platform, they'd SEE he is not for THEM.
