MI-Quinnipiac: Peters 45, James 39

Gary Peters (D-inc) 45%
John James (R) 39%

Known loser James will lose again.

[wbrocks67]

One could argue Peters, as an incumbent, should be higher. One could also argue that James, just running a pretty big campaign *less than two years ago* should be well known enough to garner more than 39% as well.

So it would appear Peters has the slight edge, which makes sense.

This poll also shows Trump winning Wisconsin by 7 points against Bernie. Even though I'm bearish on our chances of winning it back from Trump, I think 3-4 points is his realistic ceiling there.

[MT Treasurer]

James could win this race if he actually bothered to campaign instead of allowing Peters to define himself and his opponent before James gets to do so. If the entire R strategy consists of calling him "Jerry Peters", then those numbers come as no real surprise.

Peters is very vulnerable, but James is nowhere near the candidate Scott was.

[Calthrina950]

Peters remains the favorite, though it is clear that he is the most vulnerable Senate Democrat after Jones-who is of course, doomed. James has raised a considerable sum of money, and that is something which ought to be kept in mind. Nevertheless, I don't think he will be able to pull out a win.

Let's not forget Q's stellar record when it comes to predicting senate races:

John James is likely the most overrated "top tier" recruit running.

At least Trump isnt winning PA or MI

Yeah, Quinnipiac polls are a joke

[Frenchrepublican]

Even if I'm not a big fan of Quinnipiac polls I think the idea that James was going to overperform Trump was not really realistic, so on this point this poll actually makes sense, if Trump loses MI by 5 James would lose by 6.

James could win this race if he actually bothered to campaign instead of allowing Peters to define himself and his opponent before James gets to do so. If the entire R strategy consists of calling him "Jerry Peters", then those numbers come as no real surprise.

Are you really sure that James is not on the campaign trail ? He seems to be a pretty energic candidate

You can't just use one of their hundreds of polls that didn't get it right to say they're a bad pollster

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Retread James loses again, he is having the same issue as Harrison, blacks are seen as too far left to win. But, James is a Republican. Dems have a better chance in AK, than TX, KY, and SC

Sorry guys, I didn't make a thread when I posted the poll.  This one is linked now!

This poll also shows Trump winning Wisconsin by 7 points against Bernie. Even though I'm bearish on our chances of winning it back from Trump, I think 3-4 points is his realistic ceiling there.

We are in the middle of a wide-open Dem primary.  Everyone is fractured.  State by state polls for the general should show Trump at his absolute ceiling because the other side still has their knives out.

James is not a god send candidate that is going to outrun trump, News at 11
