MI: Stabenow on safe ground
Stabenow, rumored to be the GOP's top target, sounds like it isn't a contest at all.
FROM THE DETROIT NEWS:
Stabenow had a favorable-unfavorable rating of 56-25 percent. Four years ago, it was 52-22 percent.
Match-ups with specific potential challengers 22 months before an election are meaningless other than to gauge the strength or weakness in various regions for an incumbent and those pondering a challenge. Stabenow did well in three such matches.
She had 20-plus percentage point leads over ex-U.S. Rep. Nick Smith of Addison and Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, whose names were not well recognized.
Republican National Committeeman Chuck Yob, who Wednesday was elected the vice chairman of the Republican National Committee for the Midwest, said he believes Bouchard will run for the Senate. Stabenow prevailed 52-41 percent when matched statewide with Miller, the former secretary of state whose name was recognized by about 90 percent of those surveyed. Stabenow trailed in West Michigan but was superior in the southeast, including 66-29 percent in Macomb County; 62-30 percent in Wayne County and 50-41 percent in Oakland County, which once was a GOP stronghold.
