MICHIGAN: Latest Poll Shows DEM Gary Peters Widening the Lead in Senate Race

October 3rd, 2014, 7:31 AM

In the past months local TV viewers have been bombarded with political commercials about U.S. Senate candidates Gary Peters and Terry Lynn Land.

The Peter commercials tell us Terry Lynn Land would be bad for women and Michigan. They tell us the evil Koch brothers are behind her campaign. The Land commercials tell us Peters is a hypocrite for a number of reasons and he helped push through the terrible Obamacare.

Well, the latest poll shows that Peters is winning out in the propaganda war.

A WXYZ-TV 7/Detroit Free Press Poll conducted by EPIC MRAshows that Peters has streched his lead over Land to 42-33 percent with a month to go before the election.

WXYZ reports that Land had narrowed the race in August to 6 points, 45 percent to 39 percent.

Wish I had as good of news for the statewide races. They are looking pretty dismal at this snapshot in time. Got a lot of work to do on the local level, indeed.

Of course, the Land ads lie their ass off, or spew irrelevant rubbish. Apparent the Koch adverts are helping Peters. One would hope.

BTW, Senate races are, of course, statewide. Maybe the Peters race will help defeat Snyder.

heinous, despicable anti-Peters ads from PACs like "Ending Spending", Romney's old PAC, and about 3-4 other ones. They might have had a chance if they hadn't picked such an objectionable candidate. I sent to college with Terri Lynn Land and she was as awful then as she is now. I hope she loses in a blowout.
