Unfortunately, the democrats have the steal down pat in Michigan.
And Michigan’s “Republican” legislature is A-okay with it.
Whitless isn’t worried. They can stop the vote count ANY time they want - and add whatever they need. There are no longer any consequences for this.
I don’t know about this polling outfit one way or the other. If this poll is accurate, its bad news for Gestapo Gretchen. Undecideds across the country are no fans of Biden according to the polls. The economy is steadily sinking, gas prices are rising, more voters are likely to swing toward Republicans between now and election day.
Tudor Dixon is not weak, it’s Michigan remember...
Insider Advantage has a natural 2.3% Dem bias
Was the pollster Richard Baris? He is the most accurate pollster in the country over the last 10 years.
Link to Hopeful Democrat?
I wasn’t accusing him of being, I was ASKING.
Its clear that the sitting governor isn’t all that popular, as an outsider from what I see, its hard to see how the challenger would not have a good if not better than good shot to oust her.
So I am asking, folks in the state, to articulate what is going on on the ground in Michigan.
I’m not accusing anyone of anything, I am asking for perspective and input.. and not simply the partisan talking point parroting, but honest assessment.
Incumbent angered and riled up a good bit of the electorate... and it wasn’t just some small radical group(s) that she angered. Given this, and the fact she’s only at 44% shows even in this poll she’s not terribly popular.. A popular governor would be solidly in the high 40s to 50s with 3 weeks left... unless there was a significant 3rd party player involved, which I don’t believe there is in WI.
So, I am just trying to find out, from folks who are actually in MI and familiar with the nuances, and details of the states politics, what’s actually going on there. This doesn’t seem to an outsider that this should be terribly close. I mean if she is voted out it wouldn’t be by a landslide, but is it really a situation where she is likely to win?
Her approval rating is in the mid 50s going up pretty significantly lately... which I find questionable... but again I am not in MI so I don’t know what’s going on day to day there.
I am also curious about Kansas... D was elected last time out of anger at R’s for basically screwing the pooch.. .will they keep her, or return to their traditional R ways.. but no one seems to be talking about it on FR that I see.
Sure, run the numbers. Garbage goes in, garbage goes out. Base what you do on that and you leave a lot on the table.
No guts, no glory. Should they sink money into those races? Yes, they should. Should the go “ZOMG!!!! WE NEED TO PUT ALLLLLLL OUR MONEY INTO GA AND PA???” Nope. That’s dumb.
But, like I said, loserthink is the GOP way. That’s why they lose so much. They like it that way.
No, she isn’t, just new. I read here on FR that Tudor Dixon did well in the debate against Whitmer.
KS will return to an R governor. Any incumbent under 50 is toast. Approval of her is dubious.
I saw that too
I would think so, but its also odd to me, while she is considered one of the most vulnerable governors, there also hasn’t been a public poll given in over 4 weeks, and just 3.5 weeks to election day..
I am in Mi. for the last month all we have heard about is Whitmer’s double digit lead. As recently The Detroit stations were saying it is 20 points. A month ago Dixon was ambushed with an abortion gotcha question. Dixon gave a blunt non nuanced campaign killing answer. The sound bite has been running non stop in Whitmer ads and in so called news stories. Whitmer only has support in the usual areas. Dixon is fighting to recover from what might be a kill shot from that question. There is a lot of animosity for Whitmer if Dixon can rise above women’s abortion hysteria she has a chance. My sense is women are not crazy about Dixon so it’s uphill for her. Mi media continues to protect the radical lesbian activist AG and the Soros SOS. The odds are the rats keep all 3 but we have a shot. Mi has always had way too many rats but it will surprise you sometimes
others and independents ?
Was the Whitmer approval in the IA poll? I don’t see it. You are comparing apples and oranges if not. it doesn’t match with Whitmer only 44 with over a 50 approval
Witchmer has a 12M (deep state) war-chest to Dixon’s 400K(seen this somewhere)...out here in pretty deep red country I’ve been getting her campaign crap in the mail every other day...something no dem has done before(that I can remember). I don’t watch much TV anymore, but the few times I click it on all I see is Witchmer pro-abortion ads.
You are probably taking the Whitmer approval 50 from Detroit free press which has her 11 ahead of Dixon. You cant merge the two polls
And after the election Nancy will resign and Biden will appoint her ambassador to Italy.
