Michigan voters could play a decisive role in the upcoming 2024 presidential election as recent polls reveal a growing frustration against the Biden-Harris administration.

According to recent polls, Vice President Kamala Harris only holds a 0.4 percent lead over former President Donald Trump in Michigan – well within the poll’s margin of error – due to the state’s Arab American community. Many in this demographic are critical of the Biden administration’s support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This bloc, feeling alienated by U.S. foreign policy, could play a pivotal role in the election.

A recent Detroit Regional Chamber poll also found that 47 percent of Michigan voters believe the economy of Michigan is on the “wrong track,” while 43 percent hold a more positive view. Additionally, a New York Times-Siena poll revealed that 55 percent of likely Michigan voters trust Trump more on economic issues, compared to 42 percent for Harris.

These polls are supported by other polls that reveal economic hardships worsened under the current administration, with housing costs in Michigan rising 36 percent since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 and grocery prices climbing by 25 percent over the past four years. These rising costs fuel voter dissatisfaction, making Michigan a critical battleground in the 2024 election.

“If you turn on your TV in this state, you cannot avoid it,” said Edward Montgomery, president of Western Michigan University. “This is definitely an in-play state and this election lets you know how intensely in-play it is.”

The dissatisfaction among Michigan voters was reflected when they did not back Harris.

For instance, in September, Amer Ghalib, the Democratic and Arab American mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, endorsed Trump instead of Harris. “I talked to President Trump about, you know, some statistics here in Wayne County and how it used to be a stronghold for the Democrats and we always used to vote Democrat,” Ghalib said in an interview with Breitbart News on Sept. 16, the day before he officially endorsed Trump. “This is not the case anymore here.”

Several days later, Ghalib also officially endorsed Trump in a Facebook post.

“President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles,” he stated. “Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time. I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be and I’m ready to face the consequences.”

Meanwhile, in a candid interview last July, a Michigan auto worker warned that “America is done for” if Harris wins the presidency in November.

Another Trump supporter standing nearby shared the sentiment, reflecting a deep-seated apprehension about Harris’ policies and leadership. “Change it? It ruins it. She gets in – we’re done,” the Trump supporter said.
