So, DeVos seems to be making small gains, apparently among Republicans and gop-leaners. Still, Granholm, despite a terrible economy in Michigan (thanks NAFTA and WTO and Right-to-Work anti-worker states), inheriting a huge deficit, and not really doing much, is above 50% and still at 10%. My guess is that the more Michigander swing-voters learn about DeVos (a blue-blood who inherited everything and was fired by his own family, who supported a failed privatization of public education scheme led by his wife, and who has offshored Michigan jobs), he'll fall like a rock and Granholm will win by about 6-7%.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow well ahead of her three potential GOP rivals.
Stabenow: 59 percent support "in possible matchups with Republican ministers Keith Butler and Jerry Zandstra, whose support was in the low 30s. She also led Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard 54 percent to 36 percent."
