Voters in Michigan are divided on whether the United States and the state should actively pursue leadership in electric vehicle manufacturing. The divide is noticeable along partisan and geographical lines, according to a recent poll.

The survey was made public by the Detroit Regional Chamber. Leaders from the chamber expressed concern that many voters seem inclined to "surrender" Michigan's prominent auto industry to both domestic and international competitors during the shift towards electric vehicles.

This issue is seen as critical for Michigan, known for its strong ties to the automotive sector. As global markets increasingly focus on electric vehicles, questions arise about how Michigan will adapt and compete in this evolving landscape.

The debate reflects broader concerns about economic competitiveness and industrial strategy within both state and national contexts.
