MI-Gov/EPIC-MRA: Snyder leads by 9

[Oldiesfreak1854]

If those approval numbers are accurate (which they may not be, Michigan pollsters after all) then Snyder will be in real trouble once Schauer gets more name recognition.

Nah. Engler's approvals were consistently in the dumps, and he won in landslides in 1994 and 1998. Same with Granholm in 2006.

I'd probably call Granholm's 2006 reelection a near-landslide, since she only got 56% of the vote.

Anyway, Michigan seems to have a habit of reelecting unpopular governors.

Snyder 47
Schauer 38

Snyder's approvals are awful though:

Approve 41
Disapprove 58

EPIC-MRA uses an "excellent/good/fair/poor" scale to rate the approval.

This is not comparable with an "approve/disapprove" poll.

Many people who say "fair" usually approve, which means Snyders approval is much higher in reality.

Agreed.
