About this Poll
The Republican governor led 44.5 percent to Schauer’s 31 percent in a statewide poll last week of 600 likely voters commissioned by the bipartisan public relations firm Lambert, Edwards & Associates. In July, the firm’s pollster, Denno Research, found Snyder had a 6 percentage-point lead over Schauer, a former Battle Creek congressman.

The poll has a plus-minus margin of error of 4 percentage points.

The percentage of undecided voters also widened in the November survey, increasing to 25 percent from 20 percent in July, leaving both sides a sizable portion of would-be voters to target in the new year as the gubernatorial race begins to heat up.

The Lambert, Edwards & Associates-Denno Research telephone poll was conducted Nov. 12-14 and included a sample of 20 percent of cellphone users in an effort to reach more younger voters, Denno said. The July survey had a cellphone sample size of 10 percent.
