LANSING, Mich. (AP) — About half of active Republican primary voters surveyed in a recent poll had not yet decided whom they would support in next year's U.S. Senate race.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard shook up the Republican field when he re-entered the contest last month. He joins ministers Jerry Zandstra and Keith Butler in the GOP field for the August primary.
But the poll by Lansing-based EPIC/MRA for Detroit-area television station WXYZ shows all the Republican candidates have their work cut out for them to catch Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow in the November 2006 general election. Stabenow leads all three candidates in hypothetical head-to-head matchups.
"No matter who wins the primary, it will be hard to beat Debbie Stabenow," EPIC/MRA pollster Ed Sarpolus said.
Republicans say Stabenow has relatively low re-election support and is vulnerable.
The EPIC/MRA had two samples related to the U.S. Senate race. Both polls were conducted Nov. 20-23.
Fifty percent of GOP primary voters said they did not know whom they would support in the primary when first asked about the race. Twenty-seven percent said they would pick Bouchard, 12 percent picked Zandstra, and 11 percent picked Butler. |
