Du'ers from Michigan, MSNBC just did a segment on Sen. Peters. Do you think he'll win?

[octoberlib]

MSNBC interviewed a lady who was voting for Biden but was leaning toward voting for James and would make up her mind on election day. Ugh.

1. I haven't seen polls showing him behind. I think he'll win.

I don't see people splitting the ticket.

4. They interviewed a lady during the segment that said she was voting for Biden/Peter's opponent

I’m not sure how many other people will do that. She said she feels like Peters has not done anything for them. 🤷🏽?♀️

9. One of the problem for Peters is that he came out as the first congress person

to admit to have an abortion for his wife due to health reasons. Rachel did a story on it last week. It might rub some people the wrong way.

8. There is one single Trafalar poll that showed James up 1 in the last month

I know. Trafalar is crap and all that applies there. But I would say it's closer than I like and I would rather democrats put some resource to help him to boost turnout for both Peters and the important state of MI.

2. I just watched that segment..Peters was ahead.

He had 45 and his opponent had 38 or 39 (graphic made it difficult to see the second number).

10. Thanks. I obviously misread it. Makes me feel better.

[helpisontheway]

13. And Trump's number was 39 so I think they will likely end with about the same % of the vote

Biden was 3% points ahead of Peters though. If Biden has a strong night that could help Peters.

3. There's no poll showing him 6 points back

The poll average is Peters +5 or 6. He will win, but it's closer than it should be.

John James is an extremist and a Trumpster, his commercials have been him pretending he's not a Republican. I honestly think a big part of the viewers didn't realize he was GOP. Peters has started to mention him as a Republican.

Biden is going to have the biggest coattails we've ever seen. It's going to mean 3 to 5 points all across the country down ticket. Peters will win by 8-10 points.

14. I just glanced at the graphic on tv and misread the poll so changed my OP.

I'm gonna go donate to Peters.

5. MSNBC seems hell-bent on pushing their horserace shit.

The Peters poll is +6

[octoberlib]

11. Thank you.

[Claustrum]

6. There isn't a single poll that showed Peters down 6.

Peters is up 5-6 points in most polls other than one Trafalar poll that showed James up 1. Same caution that Trafalar has a huge republican lean. But I do think we should put some money to Peters to help him across the finish line.

7. Peters

I haven't seen that and I'm not going to show my husband that poll.

James has millions from the DeVos group, plus Moscow Mitch and even Louis DeJoy.
Peters relies on donations. It's hard to go after James for anything concrete because he
hasn't done anything. But he is against Obamacare and against Roe. I understand Obama
just did a endorsement. We've been saying for awhile Peters needs to go more aggressive against James.

thank god we have straight ticket voting. If you have to stand in line for an hour in Detroit
or Lansing, I just hope you just fill in that little circle for straight ticket.

[GreenEyedLefty]

12. It will be close.

Unfortunately.

James is slick, maybe a little too slick. I hate his ads - he oozes fake sincerity. There is an anti-Peters super PAC that runs a lot of ads that are flat out lies. James made the mistake of hitching his wagon to Trump (who he supports "2000%" ) and accepting funding from DeVos.

Peters is quiet and unassuming which nowadays is mistaken for doing nothing. It is fucking infuriating.

15. Gray Peters....

Will win. Period!
