With over 98 percent of Tuesday’s Michigan primary results in, it appears that at 68.2 percent of the vote to Nikki Haley’s 26.5 percent, fat former President Trump has underperformed his polling in yet another contest, as the the final FiveThirtyEight average had him at 78.7 percent to Haley’s 21.8 percent, with an Emerson poll from last week finding Trump leading Haley 76 to 24 percent.
FiveThirtyEight did not compile an average on the Dem side, but the same Emerson College survey as above found President Joe Biden at 77 percent support to 7 percent for dead-end challenger Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, and 16 percent for “uncommitted.” Biden took 81.1 percent of the vote, “uncommitted” came in second at 13.3, and Phillips came in fourth at 2.7 percent behind New Age weirdo Marianne Williamson’s 3 percent. Williamson dropped out three weeks ago.
Additional note to everyone freaking out about the size of the “uncommitted” protest vote on the Dem side: At 13.3 percent it’s just barely higher than the 11 percent against Obama in 2012.
