Clinton expands Michigan lead to 11 points

Hillary Clinton has regained a double-digit lead over Donald Trump in Michigan, according to a Detroit Free Press/WXYZ-TV poll released Thursday morning.

{mosads}Clinton is leading by 11 points, 43 to 32 percent. The same poll found less than a month ago that Clinton was leading by just 3 points.

The poll, conducted after the Sept. 26 presidential debate, suggests that Trump’s performance in his first face-off with Clinton may have hurt his support in the state.

Sixty-one percent of likely Michigan voters said that Clinton won the debate, while just 12 percent said that Trump won.

In a four-way match-up, Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson is a distant third, with 10 percent, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein has 3 percent.

Trump’s visit to a black church in Detroit last month does not appear to have helped his standing among African-Americans.

Among black voters, Clinton leads Trump, 86 to 2 percent.

And pollsters found women back Clinton over the real estate mogul by a 20-point margin, 48 to 28 percent.

The poll of 600 likely voters, conducted from Oct. 1 to 3, has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
