MI-EPIC/MRA: Whitmer +5

[SN2903]

Gretchen and Stabenow are tanking. Why is it always an outlier when a Republican is gaining ? Give me a break.

Even if the polls were actually tightening, the record-high turnout is going to swamp MI Republicans up and down the ballot. Internally they are bracing for a total collapse all the way down the ballot. Stabenow is not losing, neither is Whitmer, and yes there really is a blue wave coming.

You are drinking the koolaid...even MSNBC is saying GOP is making a comeback and democrat turnout operation is poor. You honestly think there is going to be a blue wave when the enthusiasm gap is even now? In 06, 10 and 2014 there were all double digit enthusiam gaps for the winning party. Face it your party blew it with Kavanaugh and their lurch to the far left. GOP is probably gonna retain the house.

The high turnout doesn't favor democrats. GOP is activated now and democrats are notoriously poor at turning out in midterms. I think they are all hype this year.

The fact neither the RGA nor the RNCC are showing any interest of investing in Schuette and James shows that not even they are buying the races being close.

So? The national pundits didn't think Michigan would be that close a day before the election last time..

Umm the RNCC was investing heavily into Michigan in 2016.

When? Michigan wasn't even considered a battleground till the last 2 weeks last time.

This thread is a good example of the extreme partisanship which time and time again is displayed by posters on this board. While the most recent polls have tightened somewhat, I still think that Democrats will win easily in Michigan's statewide races this year. There has been a trend away from the Republican Party, and Michigan is still a Democratic leaning state.

Michigan is not really a dem leaning state anymore. Snyder got elected twice for governor. Trump won in 2016. Macomb county used to be a democratic county but has been moving toward the republicans for years. Oakland County actually has moved left from where it used to be because of the yuppie base for the democrats it has there. Michigan is a purple state.
