Latest Polls for Governor’s Race

It’s hard to tell if there’s a clear front runner in Michigan’s gubernatorial race, according to two new polls. A poll conducted for NBC News by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion shows the gap between Republican Governor Rick Snyder and Democratic challenger Mark Schauer may be closing. According to the survey, if the election were held today, 46 percent of registered voters would back Snyder, while 44 percent would vote for the former congressman. The remaining 9 percent of voters said they are undecided and 1 percent said they would back another candidate. But another poll released this week by Vanguard Public Affairs shows Snyder with a lead of 43 to 35 percent. 22 percent said they are still undecided.
