The 2016 United States presidential election in Michigan was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Donald Trump unexpectedly won Michigan by a narrow margin of 0. 23%, with 47. 50% of the total votes over Clinton’s 47. 27%. This is the narrowest margin of victory in Michigan’s history in presidential election. Trump’s victory was attributed to overwhelming and underestimated support from working-class voters, a demographic group that had previously tended to vote for the Democratic candidate. Trump was able to win the state for the first time since George H.
