Poll: Dems Show Promise Over GOPers In Michigan Senate, Guv Races

[cal04]

A new Public Policy Polling survey found fairly good news for Democrats in Michigan: Mark Schauer, the gubernatorial candidate, is tied with Gov. Rick Snyder (R) while Rep. Gary Peters (D) leads former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land (R) in the race for U.S. Senate.

But there's another notable finding in the poll results: both Republican candidates' unfavorables are higher than their favorables and also higher than their Democratic opponents' unfavorables.

The poll found Snyder (pictured) tied with Schauer with each getting 40 percent while the remaining 20 percent said they were not sure. In the Senate race, Peters got 41 percent while Land got 36 percent. The remaining 24 percent said they were not sure.

In terms of favorability, 54 percent said they disapproved of Snyder while 37 percent said they approved of him. The remaining 9 percent said they were unsure. For Schauer, 27 percent said they had a favorable opinion of him while 24 percent said they had an unfavorable opinion of him. The remaining 49 percent said they weren't sure.
