I’m not too worried about Walberg at this point. National Research has him up by more than 10 points again and I think the negative ads have hurt Schauer more than anything. They only work with people who intend to vote democrat anyway.
The democrats paint every repiblican is the enemy of the old and in the pocket of big oil but Walberg’s record stand on its own. He’s always tried to do what he set out to do and Schauer has built a record of failing to show for debates and ignoring his constituents.
Here in SE Jackson county the Schauer ads have virtually disappeared from the TV and I only know of 3 Schauer yard signs between here and the city of Jackson. Around here, even my UAW and Steelworker neighbors lean GOP much like I did when I was AFL-CIO.
“I’m not too worried about Walberg at this point.”
I wish I had you confidence.
I’m in the Lansing area and Schauer ads are running about 4-1 over Walberg, and I haven’t seen a poll with Walberg ahead in quite some time.
Having said that, I’m not a big fan of polls, so we will see how the more important vote at the pols comes out.
