I remain suspect of this Mitchell poll for reasons already discussed and from what I can find this is their first poll on the races. The RCP average has Granholm up 10 points, and this seems to be too big of a jump from all other polls. It may be skewing the numbers intentionally to get the vote out, which is understandable.

Overall, DeVos has run a disappointing campaign so far and I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose, which is especially unfortunate for the outcome of MI in '08. Oh well.

Mitchell had the 2004 Presidential election about right. As for DeVos, he just doesn't seem to have any charisma. I'm not really disappointed in his campaign, certainly not like I am in the Bouchard campaign. Unfortunately, besides his lack of personal appeal, the unions also hate Amway and his candidacy has probably fired up their ground game.
