Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer<\/a> said on Thursday that she\u2019s \u201cnervous\u201d about polls giving Vice President Kamala Harris a clear advantage over former President Donald Trump in the Great Lakes State.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival, Whitmer mentioned a CNN poll<\/a> of battleground states that was released earlier this week that was very favorable toward Harris in Michigan and Wisconsin. According to the poll, Harris leads Trump 48% to 43% in Michigan and 50% to 44% in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me nervous to see any poll that says there\u2019s a five-point lead for Kamala Harris in Michigan now. It\u2019s just not true,\u201d Whitmer said, according to Fox News<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a very close race. I believe we can win it. And I believe we wlll, but it\u2019s gonna be very close.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whitmer incorrectly stated that the CNN poll didn\u2019t take third-party and independent candidates into account. The latest CNN poll factored in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. \u2014 who has dropped out \u2014 Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. None of them polled above 4% in Michigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2016, Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump by 11,000 votes. Jill Stein was also on our ballot and earned more than 11,000 votes,\u201d Whitmer said.<\/p>\n

Kennedy has been polling the highest among independent and third-party candidates in Michigan, even after suspending his campaign. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said<\/a> late last month that Kennedy had to remain on the Michigan ballot despite dropping out of the race. The Michigan Court of Appeals, however, ruled on Friday that Kennedy\u2019s name should be removed<\/a> from the Michigan ballot.<\/p>\n

Judges in North Carolina also ruled in favor of Kennedy removing his name from the ballot. The independent candidate endorsed Trump last month and said he would seek to remove his name from ballots in battleground states where he could potentially act as a \u201cspoiler.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whitmer discussed the unpredictable political direction of Michigan, saying, \u201cI do think, you know, in Michigan over my lifetime, we take big swings. We\u2019ve had 12 years of a Republican governor, and then we have term limits so eight years of a Democrat, then eight years of a Republican, then eight years of a Democrat. So it is a state that is notoriously kind of independent. We split our ticket a lot. And that\u2019s who we are in Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump won the state in 2016 over Hillary Clinton and lost to President Joe Biden in 2020. According to the latest RealClearPolitics<\/a> polling average, Harris leads Trump in Michigan by just over 1 point.<\/p>\n
