Scoop: GOP doubling down in toss-up Michigan Senate race – Axios |
“All signs are pointing to the state becoming one of the most competitive in the battle to control both the Senate and the White House. If Michigan flips, Democrats will face a much steeper path to victory.” “In addition to the top GOP issues of the economy and immigration, Republicans see the Biden administration's electric vehicle (EV) policies as particularly potent in the top car manufacturing state.” |
Analysis Our recent internal polling currently has Mike Rogers and Elisa Slotkin dead even in a head-to-head matchup (48%–48%). On the multi-candidate ballot, Rogers trails Slotkin by just 1-point (48%-49%), with only 3% left undecided. Rogers’ name awareness and image have continued to show improvement across the state—40% say they are favorable of Rogers and 38% say unfavorable. He has maintained this marginal net positive image since September. Rogers’ numbers are closing the gap between him and Slotkin and as these trends continue, we see a very attainable victory for our candidate. – NRSC |
