Terri Lynn Land leads Democrat Gary Peters for Michigan Senate seat

election2014Terri Lynn Land is one of the Republicans running for the Senate seat vacated by Carl Levin who is retiring when his term ends at the end of the year. The fifth straight poll has come out showing Terri Lynn Land leading Marxist Democrat Carl Peters. Of course, this is Michigan. No one is talking about this state as beibg a possible Republican gain in the Senate this fall. Michigan is always considered a blue state, mainly because of the shit-holes knowna s Detroit and Dearborn. But on the state level, Republicans actually control the Michigan state senate 26-12. That’s a 68% to 32% margin. So this seat may not be as safe of a Democrat seat as people think. Of course, the GOP is always good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The key to Terri Lynn Land’s lead is probably Obama. He only has a 37% approval rating in Michigan according to the EPIC/MRA poll.

Republican governor Rick Snyder is also in good position. He has a 52% approval rating according to this poll and leads his Democrat challenger by 8 points. 49% in Michigan think the state is going in the right direction, compared to 37% who think it isn’t. By contrast, 58% in Michigan think the country as a whole is headed in the wrong direction with just 31% thinking the country is going in the right direction. Yet again, Obama drags the country (and Democrats) down.

Michigan’s primary election isn’t until August 5th, so there’s plenty of time for things to change.
