New EPIC/MRA Poll- Granholm 50 DeVos 47
More polls numbers. Yeah, they don't mean anything right now.

But we all pay attention to them, don't we? Let's not kid ourselves here.


GRAND RAPIDS - The first poll since last week's primary election shows the race for governor is still very tight, but the senate race is not.

In a poll taken by EPIC-MRA exclusively for 24 Hour News 8 and our media partners, Governor Jennifer Granholm leads her Republican challenger Dick DeVos 50-47, with a 4% margin of error. The race remains a statistical tie.

The poll, taken August 9-15, also found US Senator Debbie Stabenow with a solid 12-point lead over Republican nominee Mike Bouchard, 54-42.
