LANSING - A new poll released today by Strategic Vision shows Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos with a three- point lead over Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm.

The poll shows DeVos leading Granholm, 45-42 percent, with 13 percent undecided.

Respondents in the poll said they were dissatisfied with her job performance by a margin of 44-41, and by an overwhelming 61-28 margin said they believed Michigan is on the wrong track.

The poll revealed Senator Debbie Stabenow is leading each of her three Republican challengers in head-to-head match-ups.

In other areas, 62 percent of respondents disapproved of President Bush's job performance. An almost evenly divided response came on the question of an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. 43 percent said we should pull out immediately, 45 percent said we should not.

By a margin of 58-36, respondents do not want the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Mind numbing, Stabenow rivals my two Senators Boxer & Feinstein, in incompetence.

I noticed Stabenow's disapprovals were at about 42%. Not a good sign for her.

Nope. Conventional wisdom is a "deathknell" for an incumbent. Here's hoping they go lower.

That said, I share your optimism come November. I didn't ping you to the poll on McGavick in WA (who lags at this time) but think that the MSM is going to be in for shock on a number of fronts. Especially if the far left continues its hostile takeover of the Rat party. ;^)

McGavick is only down 5 points. Now, I don't know WA politics, but I don't think he is very well known. If she is struggling at this point against someone who lacks name recognition, she's in big, big trouble.

I understand he has Rossi's team. That one is under the radar, IMHO. Watch for some DNC $$ going to WA. If so, we'll know they are a bit scared. Also I heard him on with Medved (and you too, great job) who is Seattle based. His name will spread and he is an achiever...

At least it looks like Michigan will be getting rid on Gov. Granholm, who looks like a deer in the headlights.

Granholm came out of the Wayne County (Detroit) organization where they solve problems the old fashioned way - by bribing someone.

Haven't they been in for a shock every election year November for the past 6 years or so?
Trouble with the rabid MSM is, they actually sincerely believe their own BS that they just made up.

I mean come on, if I am BSing someone, at least I know myself that its BS.
But so totally out of it, and moon batty and full of Bush hate have the MSM become, that they simply block out reality from their minds and keep living in cloud cuckoooland, until reality comes and bites them in the butt when the Republicans win yet another victory..

Between Granholm, Stabenow, Levin, Conyers Jr., Kilpatrick and the unions, is it any wonder Michigan's gasping?

If all these Dem jokers win reelection in MI, the state is history.

Re#10 Yep. Amazing, isn't it. That's the danger or living in an echo chamber. I love it...

it looks like Commie-Babe-Canuck-Governor has finally screwed-up enough to even tick-off the UAW members.

Eventually they will get smart and elect Ted Nugent
as their Governor.

The world has never before been as dangerous as it is now.

Every time a Democrat appears on T.V., the American people reach for the panic button.

Stabmenow may be reelected, Granholm must not be.

I saw an AFA Alert saying that Stabenow is set to vote against the Marriage Protection Amendment, though Michigan voters were 59-41 for banning gay marriage. I don't understand how she can say 'democracy' without some spasmodic twitching and drooling.
