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).
