Hillary Clinton
The ups and downs of the presidential race continue to show up in Michigan.
A Detroit News and WDIV-TV poll taken after Monday's debate shows Clinton with a 7-percentage point lead over Republican opponent Donald Trump in a statewide poll, Chad Livengood writes in The News.
Clinton leads Trump 42 percent to 35 percent in a four-way race and maintains a seven-point lead in a two-way matchup,
About 9 percent of likely voters favor Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and 3 percent back Green Party candidate Jill Stein. Nine percent remain undecided in the poll conducted Tuesday and Wednesday by Glengariff Group Inc.
In August, Clinton had a commanding 11 point lead over Trump, according to a Free Press/WXYZ poll. By mid-September that lead had shrunk to 38%-35%.
Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight currently gives Clinton a 74.1% chance of winning Michigan and a 63.7% chance of winning the national election.
