| This might explain why Gary McDowell got love from the DNCC. MICHIGAN 1st District: 40% say Rep. Dan Benishek deserves reelection, his approval rating is just 33 percent. He trails 2010 opponent Gary McDowell 46 percent to 41 percent in a hypothetical re-match.
Margin of error is 3 percent. The other side of this is that last time around, Benishek won a Tea Party primary by beating out seasoned campaigners and then won a wave election. In other words, Benishek might need the score run up by things outside his control to compensate for a comparative lack of campaign experience, and the Tea Party appears to have lost its effectiveness. |
