Whitmer on the Edge of Defeat in Michigan, According to Latest Poll and Projection
Redstate.com ^ | 10/24/22 | Joe Cunningham

Posted on 10/24/2022 6:30:56 PM PDT by cotton1706

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, once considered a possible running mate for Joe Biden, is on the cusp of losing her job to Republican challenger Tudor Dixon.

New polling data out Monday shows that Whitmer is virtually tied with Dixon at roughly 48 percent apiece, continuing a trend of narrowing gaps for Democrats across the country. But, what’s more, if that trend holds, then Whitmer is looking at being ousted, according to RealClearPolitics.

Michigan would be joining Nevada and Oregon, among others, as key pick-ups for the GOP.

The latest poll, which comes from Michigan News Source and Trafalgar, features results from 1079 likely voters. Whitmer is supported by 48.4 percent of voters, while Dixon has support from 47.9 percent. The bad news for Whitmer in this poll is that nearly 55 percent of respondents were Democrats, compared with just 37.1 percent of voters identifying as Republican.

The poll is one of the latest by Trafalgar to show a closer race in swing states than other pollsters do, but it’s not much of an outlier compared with other polls. Cygnal, identified as a Republican firm, previously polled the state as being six points in Whitmer’s favor. But other recent polls have been much closer, and many of the same issues plaguing other Democrats are also hurting her chances in Michigan.

Hard to imagine she gets 25% after her COVID sleeper hold on the population of MI.

Trafalgar Is a decent pollster, but they admit that polling conservatives is difficult this year. Rich Baris has said the same. Wouldn’t it be nice if all the polls are off by several points (undercounting Republicans)?

They had a great cheating apparatus working in 2018. Its still in place. Her AG won’t do anything to stop it, they are counting on using it to remain in office.

I hope she loses soooo bad.

Miraculously the rats will pull out the close races during the early morning hours after the polls close.

I am concerned that violence will occur if they try to chest again. There has to be assurance that if cheating is occuring Federal Marshals get to yhe big city counting centers. There are folks onour side who may think itis appropriate to send the ballot harvest mules to the rainbow bridge. We dont want it handled that way

Does Michigan have early voting, mail in voting, and electronic voting machines? If so, nothing is guaranteed and most likely favors the left.

If they try to lock out poll watchers and cover the windows again, the windows need to break.
