Less than a week before Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are deadlocked in the battleground state of Michigan, according to an exclusive new USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll.

Harris and Trump are tied, 47% to 47%, a statewide poll of 500 likely voters shows. The results are within the poll’s margin of error of 4.4 percentage points. The poll was conducted between Oct. 24 and 27.

In Kent County, Michigan, which has been a bellwether for the state, Harris leads Trump 47% to 46% among 300 likely voters, the poll shows. The results are within the poll’s 5.7 percentage point margin of error, meaning her lead could have happened by chance.
“It is that razor-thin,” said David Paleologos, a pollster who directs Suffolk University’s Political Research Center and oversaw this USA TODAY poll on Michigan. “We have a true margin of error race.”

In 2016, Trump beat Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton in Kent County by 48% to 45%, mirroring his victory in the state overall. In 2020, Democratic nominee Joe Biden beat Trump 52% to 46% and won the state race.
