With absentee voting having already started, Michigan and Wisconsin voters are leaning Republican, an\u00a0Atlas Intel poll<\/a>\u00a0released recently finds.<\/p>\n

Former president Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in the Midwest swing states among likely voters, both in head-to-head matchups and multi-candidate ballots.<\/p>\n

In Michigan, respondents chose Trump by 50.6% and Harris by 47.2% when only given the two, and Trump received roughly the same support, with Harris pulling slightly less, when the two appeared with third party candidates.<\/p>\n

The Michigan sample of 918 respondents consisted of 28.9% Democrats, 33% Republicans, and 38.1% Independents.<\/p>\n

Defying previous trends, women voters, who made up 51.7% of the poll, favored Trump by 54%, compared to 45% who chose Harris. Male voters, who made up 46.9% of respondents, supported Harris by 49.5% and Trump by only 46%.<\/p>\n

Respondents from suburban and rural communities tended to go for Trump, whereas urban residents largely favor Harris.<\/p>\n

By generation, Michigan voters ages 18 to 29 are at an even split between the two candidates, while 30 to 44-year-olds favor Trump at 54.4% and Harris at only 39.5%. Roughly 50% of respondents ages 45 to 64 chose Harris, compared to 46% for Trump. But Trump leads Harris by eight percentage points\u201354% to 46%\u2013among Michigan voters ages 65 and older.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin presents a slightly different picture, with the gap between the two candidates narrowing to well within the margin of error.<\/p>\n

In a head-to-head race, Trump captures 49.7% of the Wisconsin vote versus 48.6% who support Harris. In a multi-way ballot, the results barely change, with Trump getting 49.6% and Harris 48.2% of the vote.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin sample of 1,077 respondents consisted of 36% Democrats, 34.3% Republicans, and 29.7% Independents.<\/p>\n

Unlike in Michigan, Wisconsin men \u2013 who made up 44.8% of respondents \u2013 favor Trump by 54%, whereas only 45.5% of women\u2013who made up 54.5% of respondents\u2013favor Trump.<\/p>\n

Broken down by age, younger Wisconsin voters are enthused about Trump, with respondents ages 18 to 29 favoring him over Harris by ten percentage points, 54% to 45%, respectively. By contrast, the next oldest cohort of voters ages 30 to 45 largely favor Harris, 54% to only 40.7% who favor Trump.<\/p>\n

Respondents ages 45 through 64 chose Trump by 52.4% over Harris at 45.7%, and voters ages 65+ are split almost dead even between the candidates, but chose Trump by a small margin.<\/p>\n

The poll was conducted Sept. 20 to 25, with a +\/-3 margin of error for both surveys.<\/p>\n
