The FAU PolCom Lab/Mainstreet Research poll surveyed 2,068 adults across Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, revealing a closely contested race between Biden and Trump. Across all voters, Trump holds a slight lead of one point over Biden, while likely voters maintain a similar margin, highlighting the competitiveness of the race.
In Michigan, the electorate remains evenly divided, with both candidates garnering 45 percent of support. Among likely voters, Biden gains a slight edge, yet the race remains exceedingly close.
Similarly, in Pennsylvania, Trump holds a two-point lead over Biden among all voters, while likely voters also favor the former president by a narrow margin.
Wisconsin presents a tighter contest, with Biden leading by two points among all voters. However, among likely voters, Trump secures a narrow advantage, indicative of the unpredictable dynamics shaping the electoral terrain.

Significance of Narrow Margins
As Associate Professor Dukhong Kim emphasizes, the absence of a substantial advantage for either candidate underscores the critical role that even a small number of voters can play in determining the election outcome. With the margins so close, every vote holds significant weight, particularly in battleground states crucial for securing victory.
As the nation gears up for the general election in November, the latest polling data underscores the intense competition between Biden and Trump in key battleground states. With the race neck and neck, both candidates will intensify their efforts to sway undecided voters and mobilize their respective bases, highlighting the pivotal role these states will play in determining the next occupant of the White House.
