| Since Right to Work, as most of us might have expected. LANSING — A poll released to the Free Press today suggests that support for Gov. Rick Snyder dropped sharply after he did an about-face in December and backed the speedy passage of controversial right-to-work legislation. The poll by EPIC-MRA of Lansing, released exclusively to the Free Press and WXYZ-TV (Channel 7), found that 61% of Michigan voters surveyed between Feb. 5 and Feb. 10 gave Snyder a negative job rating, while 36% gave him a positive rating.
Tomorrow, we can expect a Mitchell poll, from the same folks who helped the inmates at Henry Payne's Museum for Half-Formed Thoughts to conclude that Willard might win Michigan, to say the direct opposite. Still, does this really make a difference. The person who would make the most formidable opponent next year, Mark Schauer, didn't sound exactly excited at the chance to be governor on Off the Record; and beyond that decades of ineffective bench building have left the Democrats otherwise without a credible challenger. Snyder might as well be polling at 10 percent right now with the stable of candidates other than Schauer that the Dems are talking about hurling at him. |
