Polls, polls, polls. Love seeing that 50% mark.
In an election for Governor of Michigan today, 10/25/06, incumbent Democrat Jennifer Granholm defeats Republican challenger Dick DeVos by 7 points, 52% to 45%, according to an exclusive SurveyUSA poll conducted for WDIV-TV Detroit, WZZM-TV Grand Rapids and WDIO-TV Duluth.
Duluth? Are we taking over Duluth? I don't remember that as part of the 21st Century Jobs plan. Don't we have to conquer Wisconsin first?
(Yes, I know that is polling the western UP. Just kidding.)
Granholm leads by 15 among women. DeVos leads by 2 among men. DeVos leads by 4 among whites. Granholm leads by 74 among blacks. Granholm leads by 51 in Wayne County. DeVos leads by 7 in the Detroit suburbs. The race is tied elsewhere.
And on the Senate side- Stabenow 51 Bouchard 44
In an election for United States Senate in Michigan today, 10/25/06, incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow defeats Republican challenger Mike Bouchard 51% to 44%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WDIV-TV Detroit, WZZM-TV Grand Rapids and WDIO-TV Duluth. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA tracking poll released 10/9/06, Stabenow is down 2, Bouchard is up 2.
A little slip for Stabenow.
The rest of the results- Cox 53% Williams 38%. My mind keeps repeating...
"Mike Cox- MARINE!"
...and has been playing that over and over today, with visions of the AG office under assault from... oh, I don't know, the Canadians or something.
And Prop 2 still confuses the hell out of everybody-
37% 'Certain' Yes
35% 'Certain' No
28% Not Certain
Well folks, you have less than two weeks to figure it out. Better hit the books.
