Rate Michigan for 2022

Lean R. There is a deep, visceral hatred for her amongst lots of typically apolitical types due to all the COVID lockdowns, and I doubt people just forgive and forget that by 2022. Rs need to find a decent candidate and given their proclivity for nominating crazy people Whitmer definitely still has a shot, but if they nominate I.e. James or Meijer or coax someone like Engler back then she’s toast.

Whitmer is very vulnerable, but I don't think she's a clear underdog - at least yet. Michigan still trended D this year, and while I expect it to trend R in 2022/2024, Whitmer won't be that easy to dislodge, as she is very popular among Democrats.

Off-topic, but have you ever thought about getting an avatar? You're a very knowledgeable poster (esp. about elections/trends), but I really feel like your informative posts go unnoticed because you don't have an avatar. It's super easy to make one - you just go to "profile" then to "Forum Profile Information" and pick your political party (pick Independent or Other if you don't have one) and your state.
