Michigan Freepers.....I have been looking at some of the polling lately in Michigan, it shows suburban Rep. Mike Bishop, MI GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Schuette and MI GOP Senate candidate John James losing to their Democratic rivals.
Michigan a battleground state has a lot of Independents. A lot of them voted for Trump-Pence. Are they the apathetic, apolitical types that were inspired by Trump's message but are apathetic or indifferent to regular, traditional politics as usual.
Is Trump's coattails able to help the MI GOP, or is it suburban white women lashing out on the MI GOP and other Midwestern Republicans?
suburban white women lashing out
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That seems to be your conclusion for every race and poll.
All the polls prove there’s no path to 270 for Trump. /s
I’m tired of everyone running scared of suburban white women. Are there no suburban white men?
I’d guess their love of Trump does not transfer over to generic Republicans.
Care to cite exactly which polls?
I have been looking at some of the polling lately in Michigan …
Like Wisconsin, now that the Repubs have gotten the state’s economy in a solid footing, voters feel safe to elect dems.
No one can ever accuse American voters of being pragmatic or consistent.
From Michigan, not sure. I am all in for Repubs but only to save the President and SC.
I do know neg ads being run on Bishop regarding health care vote and he took money from lobbyists; an ad where a few republicans who are farmers are saying they are voting for Stabmenow because she listens and has their back. I haven’t seen any neg ad against James. But then again- not seen hardly any for him.
I think lot of women who didn’t vote for trump or Hillary are going to vote and they are pissed and part of the #metoo feel sorry for women, movement. There is a lot of liberal rage in ANN ARBOR AREA where I work. Lot of get out the vote to colleges more then ever recruiting college students.
I also think lot of people are just tired of the crap between both parties and some will just stay home. I am tired too of DEMS getting by with every dirty trick, the evilness, no accountability, of the Repubs not fighting for our President, caving to DEMS and protesters, etc.
not from my area, they all are DEMS, gay, or liberals.
Down to about ~20% of the population.
That's redundant as all get out.
No - just stupid sheep...
MI is going to be hard to win: always has been, or at least since 1960.
I know, the long-term problem is the uninformed American electorate. They make bad choices most of the time.
In my area, mid-lower MI, we won't see much action until after the Supreme Court issue is over, then you will see the Trump voters get involved, I think.
I was a volunteer every day at the county HQ in Mt. Pleasant, and didn't see much action until just a few weeks before election day. Then it got busy - and fun!
I was polled two nights ago and of course I am voting for all of those people-a 59 year old, white, college graduate, female, Republican. The pollsters probably did not count me.
I cannot believe they are behind.
Send in Sarah. She still has an unused ticket to Michigan from 2008, I believe.
It will be worth more now than it was then!
I have not even seen an ad for James and Schuette's ads have been unremarkable.
Bump for later.
I think alot of republicans don’t answer the polls. Also I would never tell them I vote republican. I just make sure I VOTE Republican. Never dem.
