MI-GOV: Whitmer leads Schuette 47% to 38%

In the governor’s race, Democrat Gretchen Whitmer and Republican Bill Schuette lead their respective primary fields.

Whitmer, the former minority leader in the Michigan Senate, has the support of 35 percent of likely voters, compared with 25 percent for businessman Shri Thanedar and 22 percent for Abdul El-Sayed, the former Detroit health department leader. When all potential Democratic voters are polled, it’s 31 percent for Whitmer, 27 percent for Thanedar and 22 percent for El-Sayed.

Schuette, the state attorney general, leads the GOP pack with 36 percent support among likely voters compared with 26 percent for Lt. Gov. Brian Calley and 12 percent for state Sen. Patrick Colbeck. Those shares are nearly identical when all potential GOP voters are surveyed.
