I think all 3 proposals pass and our 3 gals win easily. My money would be on the big races in Michigan all going dem (all 4 girls). That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Whitmer and Slotkin lost. For Dixon to be this close with so much less funding is why I think nationally it will be a bad day for Dems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been following Michigan closely, but my prior would be that Whitmer is gonna outrun most of the rest of the D ticket. So if she loses, they all lose IMO. Definitely can see Slotkin losing, although that's a house race and independent of state races. Edited November 8, 2022 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Slotkin one has had a national following which is why I included it. A few months ago I would have said the same about Whitmer. I don't know if it's by design, but Dixon has separated herself from the other GOP candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Seems more like wishcasting. Whitmer has yet to trail in a single poll, even the ones conducted by Republicans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two months ago you couldn't find a poll that wasn't a double digit lead for Whitmer even counting the margin of error. I'm not sure how that is wishcasting.

They are almost all Republican funded polls that have the lead within the margin of error. Recent polls like Detroit News and EPIC have her at double digits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust Epic MRA and few other polls for Michigan. that's the gold standard in the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was down by a fraction of a percent in a Trafalger poll this AM.... but it's Trafalger, and they did overestimate Trump last cycle in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm looking at RCP in 2018 and 2020 and can't help but notice how many more partisan Republican polls there are in 2022. Whitmer could lose, but this flooding of GOP funded polls seems coordinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Whitmer and Nessel are both over 50 and their faces don't look like they are molded silly putty like Melania and Kimberly Guilfoyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 If I get interviewed while waiting to vote, I'm going to tell them I'm an undecided voter. I'm leaning towards Dixon because I'm concerned of kids identifying as cats and hissing at each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightward dirft in national politics doesn't reverse at least until the dems show they can re-establish their primacy in states that should be moderate/democratic by history and temperment. Just need to figure out WTF is wrong with WI. Edited November 10, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
