A new poll has found that former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are essentially tied among voters in the battleground state of Michigan. 

The Washington Post poll of 1,004 registered voters reveals that Trump is leading Harris there 47% to 45%. Among that group, those who said they were likely to vote for Harris over Trump 47%-46%. 

The poll was conducted Oct. 24-28 and has a margin of error of 3.7%. Of those who responded, six out of every 10 voters view the state of the economy negatively, according to The Washington Post. 

Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed listed the economy as an "extremely important issue," followed by immigration at 47%, taxes at 44%, health care at 42%, abortion at 41% and U.S. policy on the war in Gaza at 29%.
