Poll: Trump trails top 2020 Democrats in Michigan

A new Michigan poll shows top 2020 Democratic contenders besting President Trump in a key battleground state that the president flipped in 2016. 

The EPIC-MRA survey shows former Vice President Joe Biden beating Trump 51 percent to 41 percent in a hypothetical match-up. 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) would beat Trump 49 percent to 43 percent, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who won Michigan in the 2016 Democratic primary, led the president 48 percent to 44 percent, according to the poll. 

Eight percent of voters were undecided in each of the three match-ups. 

Meanwhile, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) led Trump in the survey by 3 points, carrying 46 percent support. Eleven percent of voters said they were undecided in that hypothetical match-up. 

Democrats will likely be eyeing Michigan closely in 2020 after Trump narrowly won the historically blue state. 

Trump is trailing some of the top Democratic contenders in national polls as well. An Emerson College poll, released on Tuesday, showed the president is either losing to or tying with the candidates. 

The EPIC-MRA poll was conducted on Aug. 17-21 among 600 Michigan voters. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
