THE RACE: U.S. Senate, Michigan
THE NUMBERS:
_ (D) 49%
_ Mike Bouchard (R) 41%
_ Undecided 10%
The telephone poll of 600 likely voters statewide was conducted Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA for The Detroit News and TV stations WXYZ in Southfield, WOOD in Grand Rapids, WILX in Lansing and WJRT in Flint. The poll, which was copyrighted, had a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Three third-party candidates each got less than 1 percent.
OF INTEREST: Stabenow slipped below 50 percent, but Bouchard still has to make up ground to win.

And the Mitchell race also shows a close race in Michigan. Excellent!
Errr, Mitchell POLL, not race.
I'm all "polled" out now. We know the only poll that counts is on election day.
Everyone please get out and vote. Even if you need to log off of Free Republic to do so, please go and vote. We don't want to see an election go against you and then think how you yourself didn't participate and vote.
The significance of the polls isn't the result, but the trend. And the trend is breaking hard Republican. Now to make sure every Republican gets out and votes and drags every Republican they know to vote.
according to the DBM, if an incumbent is polling at less than 50% their dead. But this only applies to dems.
In every election, there are always a few surprises...and this time, they will come at the expense of Dems..
A heavy Grand Rapids turnout for DeVos will help Bouchard. If there were a Detroit Mayoral race, then Debbie would have been a shoe-in.
Bouchard's roots in Oakland County should also help. Stabenow, I think, won Oakland last time.
Yes, but Prop. 5 will bring out more of us than them!
WE always vote anyway!...lol
I live in middle Michigan. I have never had to wait in line to vote and this time I did. Turn out based on the numbers this year and in previous years seems to be up by quite a bit. I live in a strong Republican area.
