Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm

With Michigan's rickety economy continuing to loom large in minds of many voters—45% say it is the election issue that most concerns them—Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) and Republican Dick DeVos remain locked in an extremely competitive battle for the governor's mansion.

In our July survey DeVos, son of the Amway founder, wrested a six-point advantage over the incumbent. But Governor Granholm now nominally leads in the contest, 47% to 46% (see crosstabs).

1. It's really scary

that this race is as close as it is. DeVos is dangerously far to the right, something that the MI Democratic Party should be making clear to everyone.

2. Wow. That IS close.

I remember when Grnaholm was a pretty popular figure.

She's made up a lot of ground. Maybe she'll keep stretching that out? I sure hope so.
