RAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — With three months until Michigan’s Aug. 6 U.S. Senate Primary, Republican voters are largely undecided, however, of the four candidates, former U.S. Representative Mike Rogers has the most support.

A new poll conducted by WOOD TV8, Emerson College Polling and The Hill found that 54% of Michigan Republican primary voters have not committed to a candidate. Rogers leads the race with 32% support, followed by former U.S. Representative Justin Amash with 8% support, businessman Sandy Pensler with 3% support, and Physician Sherry O’Donnell with 2% support.

“Rogers’ support is ten points higher among male voters than female, 37% to 27%, and among voters with a college degree than those without, 38% to 29%,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. Trump endorses Mike Rogers Those polled were also asked if they had a “favorable or unfavorable view” of each candidate. Rogers was seen most favorably, with 59% holding a favorable view of him, Amash stands at 32% favorability, Pensler at 27%, and O’Donnell at 19%.

The most important issue for Michigan Republican primary voters is the economy at 53%, followed by immigration at 17%, threats to democracy at 7%, and housing affordability at 6%.

Wow. They're not sold at all on Rogers. He's well below cracking 50% of the vote and that's good news for former Rep. Justin Amash in this nascent race.

Republicans, is ther anyone with standing who fights in the state?

[The Old Hoosier]

I'm not from Michigan, but 32 percent is pretty good in a crowded primary when everyone else is in single-digits. Most people have never heard of any of these people, since the most prominent ones are just ex-congressmen.

Also, although I consider myself a Trump realist, I do not expect Amash, who voted to impeach Trump, will win a Republican primary over Rogers, the guy Trump has already endorsed.

Amash is a fool. He was a hard core anti Trump Repuke hard pass. Hes sitting at 8%. Goodbye

[RandFan]

The only way is up

I hope that the Amash clown gets defeated. We need true Conservatives in Congress.

Mike Rogers is going to win. But he’s just a deep state tool. Unfortunately, Trump seems to have seen him as the lesser of two evils.

[Dr. Sivana]

Amash acted like he hated Trump more than government takeovers, voting with Dems to impeach over NOTHING.
