Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) holds a 9-point lead over Republican challenger John James in Michigan's Senate race, according to a new poll that shows a tightening race.
Stabenow has the support of 51 percent of likely voters, compared to James's 42 percent, according to the poll released Thursday by Mitchell Research and Communications.
In a previous poll released in September, Stabenow had a 13-point lead.
Steve Mitchell, president of Mitchell Research and Communications, said the new polling signals a tightening race and shows the impact of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's contentious confirmation process.
Mitchell added that Stabenow is still "in a good position."
