Poll: Michigan Democrat Gretchen Whitmer Holds Sizable Lead over All Republican OpponentsAshley Oliver 14 Jul 2022
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is on track for reelection regardless of which Republican opponent she ends up facing in the state’s gubernatorial race, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by the Glengariff Group on behalf of the Detroit News and local outlet WDIV, found Whitmer with anywhere from a nine- to 15-point lead over five different possible opponents.
Whitmer’s top three strongest challengers, according to the poll, are real estate broker Ryan Kelley, conservative media personality Tudor Dixon, and businessman Kevin Rinke. They trail Whitmer by nine points, 11 points, and 12 points, respectively.
The poll, taken July 5 through July 8, is the second to show Whitmer in such a strong position following the State Board of Canvassers in May disqualifying half the Republican gubernatorial primary field, including frontrunner former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, for submitting invalid nomination petitions.
This latest poll indicates none of the remaining Republicans have been able to emerge as the candidate to beat so far, as none of them reached 50 percent name recognition.
