The Detroit News reports:
Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s lead over Republican challenger Tudor Dixon has reached 17 percentage points with five weeks remaining before the Nov. 8 mid-term election, according to a new poll from The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Channel 4).
The statewide survey of 600 likely Michigan voters found 49.5% supported Whitmer, who’s seeking a second four-year term, and 32.2% backed Dixon, a political commentator and businesswoman. Meanwhile, 6.1% planned to vote for a third-party candidate, and 12.3% were undecided or refused to answer.
The results could set off alarm bells for Michigan Republicans and indicated that Dixon, a first-time candidate from Norton Shores, fell further behind Whitmer during the month of September as Democrats funded millions of dollars in TV ads.
