I think it’s entirely plausible that Whitmer ends up outperforming Stabenow.

But the pundits told me this was a very competitive toss up race that could go either way because Trump won it by 0.2%.

Good job, Whitmer,...but is it enough for the legislature?  Stay tuned.

The fact that it took like 10 straight polls with Whitmer up double digits for Sabato to move it out of tossup will never stop being funny to me.

Can you blame him, though?

Actually yes we can blame him.

I read this as Whitmer +4 and was about to go on an anti-MI rant. Never mind then.

Yes, because something happening once in very specific circumstances during a very different political climate with a major game changer happening in the very last week of the election should not be presumed to have a strong possibility of recoccuring in every election thereafter.

You mean not every state that voted for Trump is a permanently red state!?

They didn't poll the Senate race? A shame. Anyway, this race is Likely D.

This is obviously Safe D, and anything else is laughably optimistic at this point.

Quick question: Is Flint a factor in how people plan to vote?

It should be. But probably not.
