SENATE POLL: Dead-heat in Michigan

Polling is a notoriously fickle science, especially since it’s still early, but this data underscores a fundamental truth: Michigan is a swing state, and swing states have a tendency to...swing.   Friend, I wanted to make sure you saw this recent polling for the U.S. Senate race here in M…
