DeVos has been running ads for a while and that packaged with a string of bad economic news seems to have pushed his pole numbers up.

My prediction

Granholm 50%

DeVos 48%

No

Look at those high numbers of undecideds.  This is just typical Michigan saying "im pissed off at my financial situation right now."  Granholm will end up winning by 5-6 points.

EPIC/MRA has historically been fairly erratic, no?  Those are too many undecideds, too, as Preston said.

Almost nobody wins by 5 or more points. Posthumus only lost to Granholm by 4 in 2002.

This is the second tie so far in the polls, and EPIC/MRA leans democrat.  I think Granholm's going to lose by 3.

DeVos - 50
Granholm - 47
Other - 1

Historically of the Michigan-only polls, EPIC/MRA leans Democratic and Mitchell Research leans Republican.

However, the Michigan Governor polls of late have been really erratic, ranging from Granholm/Devos tied to Granholm up +10 and more.  Nothing in-between. 

I'd believe this is simply a run of odd samples if the Stabenow Senate polling was equally strange, but it hasn't been.

It could just be a volatile electorate in Michigan because of the economy.  It's my best guess.

But I think the smart move right now is to ignore all polls from Michigan and wait a while.  Smiley

Yes, but the question is the following: which is the 1 in 20?  We've seen about an equal number of polls from Michigan showing either Granholm at like +15 or the race in a dead heat; it's not like there's one single outlier.

I would too, if this guy is truly economic conservative Smiley  At a state level, I'd feel more likely to vote Republican because I know that they can't f--- it up as bad in the international realm Grin

No

Roll Eyes Please. as MI Republican said already, hardly anyone wins by that much.  It will be close.  Ultimately I think Jtfdem's accurate.  It'll be about 50% Granholm, 49% DeVos, 1% crazy circle one: (Fascist party, Communist lite, Libertarian, Larouchie-like, Independent, Free Soil, Bullmoose) party

I think incumbency will still win the day here, but DeVos might well make it close. I would like Mason-Dixon to do a poll here...

I'm referring more to internal polling. The democrats like to use EPIC and the GOP uses Mitchell. That doesn't always mean that the poll favors one. Mitchell was more democrat friendly in 2000 and more GOP friendly in 2002 in numbers.

It's also possible that Strategic Vision and EPIC were being hard on their own parties to fire them up.

DeVos will do well in rural michigan and the western part of michigan. Granholm will have to pull out her base in Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Flint. I think the election will come down to mid-michigan. Bay City, Midland, Saginaw will be the deciding factor who wins. Granholm will need a 55%+ in this area.
It would not hurt granholm to do well in in the UP though.

This one will probably be close, but I think Granholm will pull through.
