Poll shows Clinton and Sanders beat Trump and Cruz in Michigan
If the election were held today, both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of New York and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont would win in Michigan over either real estate developer Donald Trump of New York and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. Both would have larger margins over Trump than Cruz with Sanders earning the bigger victories.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll published Sunday, March 6, showed Clinton would defeat Trump fifty-two percent to thirty-six percent in Michigan, a sixteen point margin. Sanders would beat Trump even more handily, a twenty-two point lead of fifty-six percent to thirty-four percent.
At Sunday night's Democratic debate in Flint, Sanders pointed out his advantage over Clinton against Trump. "I would love to run against Donald Trump," Sanders was quoted by Fox News Latino, adding that polls show "Sanders vs. Trump does a lot better than Clinton vs. Trump."
Clinton also showed she was not afraid of Trump. Clinton pointed out that she was the only candidate to receive more votes than Trump in the primaries so far. According to Fox News Latino, she said Trump's "bigotry, his bullying, his bluster are not going to wear well on the American people."
Both Democratic candidates would also beat Cruz in Michigan, but less soundly than they would Trump. Clinton would earn only a single-digit lead of seven points, forty-eight percent to fourty-one percent. Sanders would beat Cruz by more than twice as much, an eighteen point margin of fifty-four percent to thirty-six percent, nearly as much as he would defeat Trump.
Sanders is not likely to get that chance when likely Michigan Democratic voters have their say on March 8. The same poll reported that Clinton leads Sanders fifty-seven percent to forty percent.
The other poll released Sunday from CBS News/YouGov showed Clinton winning Michigan's March 8 Democratic primary by a smaller margin, fifty-five percent to forty-four percent. According to Real Clear Politics, that is the second narrowest margin for Clinton from a poll this year next to a ten percent lead reported by one poll in mid-February. The Real Clear Politics average of the past four polls shows Clinton ahead by 22.2 percent.
