The State of the Union Address is scheduled and President Biden has a lot of talking points: Ukraine, Putin, inflation, his supreme court nomination, supply chain issues and COVID 19. Many are saying it is the most consequential time of his presidency.

For the last four presidential elections, the road to the White House went through Michigan. Blueprint Polling recently surveyed 632 Michigan voters.

The survey found former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 Michigan matchup. The survey was taken between February 1 and 4, 2022.

Donald Trump is polling slightly ahead of President Biden, 40.4% - 38.2%, with 13.4% of voters undecided and 8% saying they plan to support a third party candidate. Trump leads with both those who say they are definitely voting and those who are probably voting.
