I think Rass is overestimating the GOP in this poll. Just a gut feeling.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

But he didn't understate Dick DeVos support and he has him back in front.

But he didn't understate Dick DeVos support

We don't know that.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

But Dick Devos is back in front and this race is still Dick Devos to lose. He has been up except in August through most of the campaign.

This is one poll that goes against the last several polls that show Granholm improving and DeVos going down. Granholm still has a small lead me thinks.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yea, but Dick Devos has been ahead in most of the campaign. I think he has a slight advantage, and he has just as much money as Granholm and most of those polls were 2 pts or less and not hitting the 50% mark. We will see what the next poll says. But to me I think DeVos has a slight advantage.

I think the Devos/Granholm race is a complete toss-up. Much like the Missouri senate race.

I know this is totally off topic but so what. Overton what is your analysis of the Duckworth Vs. Roskam race?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I think if nothing changes, Topinka will carry Roskim over the top by doing well in the suburbs. But that is now, if things get worse for the GOP I think Duckworth can win. But she isn't favored. As for MI, it just makes me so upset that Blagojevich, Doyle, and Culver are doing so well and Granholm is the only one that isn't doing so well. She needs to do better.

[agcatter]

I would bet Stabenow wins by 8 or 9 points.  After all, it IS Michigan.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Stabenow's troubles are because of the low approvals of Granholm's. But she will survive, but I can't say the same thing about Granholm, who is suffering with the same low approvals of Menendez.
