Michigan – 3 New Polls in Peters v. Knollenberg

When it rains, it pours!  Three polls have been released in the past few days looking at the race between CLW endorsee Gary Peters and Rep. Joe Knollenberg.  Taken together they paint a pretty clear picture of Peters holding a narrow lead in a tight race.  Here are the numbers:

Grove Insight for the DCCC (10/4-5, likely voters, 8/17-19 in parens):
    Gary Peters (D): 46 (41)
    Joe Knollenberg (R-inc): 37 (37)
    Jack Kevorkian (I): 2 (8)
    Undecided: 15 (14)
    (MoE: ±4.9%)

Mitchell Research & Communications (9/30-10/2, likely voters):
    Gary Peters (D): 43
    Joe Knollenberg (R-inc): 43
    (MoE: ±6%)

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner for Gary Peters (10/6-7, likely voters):
    Gary Peters (D): 43
    Joe Knollenberg (R-inc): 40
    Jack Kevorkian (I): 5
    Other: 5
    Undecided: 8
    (MoE: ±4.9%)

Gary Peters is well known and liked in Michigan due to his successful tenure as State Lottery Commissioner.  He is reported to be ready to announce that he raised more than $650k since July, quite a tidy sum for a challenger.  Also, as I pointed out in an earlier post, McCan’s decision to stop campaigning in Michigan should put a serious damper on Republican organizing in downballot races.  All, in all, things are looking very good for Peters.

Help Peters reach the finish line here.
