Clinton's Lead On Sanders Shrinks Heading Into Michigan Primary
Source: Fox2 Detroit
The race for delegates in Michigan has tightened in the Democratic side of the ticket s we approach the primary.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to lead Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders for democratic nomination from Michigan. However, her lead has shrunk 10% in the past week.
In the most recent Mitchell/FOX 2 Detroit Poll of 616 likely voters, Clinton holds the lead of 55% to Sanders' 37%. That's an 18% lead but it's dropped 10% in the last few days as Sanders has been outspending Clinton on TV ads.

(14,177 posts)I wonder how Michiganders feel about Hillary's vote on clean ground water.

(11,197 posts)It's not like it's been discussed in the MSM. People that frequent sites like this, or peruse certain twitter hashtags might be aware, but the majority of folks I suspect have no knowledge of it.

All because he said he was ''going to make a speech.'

(14,177 posts)and even before Hillary voted against clean water. But, those things definitely have not helped the situation in Michigan at all. Michigan is a state that is in serious trouble and has been for decades, since the 1970's at least. I moved because I saw an economy that was tanking and I didn't see anyone making a move to fix it and it's just gotten worse since the 1980's.

(10,336 posts)countries. It was all about union-busting. Unions are about more than just better pay and benefits and a voice in the workplace. They know it. Apparently we have forgotten it, or we'd be fighting like hell to this very day. And I mean, every one of us, not just union families/supporters. It actually is a paramount issue.

(24,010 posts)...union members are much better informed than most non-union workers and others!
I was so impressed with the clip I saw yesterday, in MI I think, of several unions meeting with Sanders. Sanders was speaking at a press conference with a lot of union members present. And he was speaking about the "free trade" issue in a much more detailed way than in his stump speech. The union reps and members knew exactly what he was talking about, and looked very happy that he was saying it--and applauded a lot.
That's the kind of citizenry we need!

(10,336 posts)got my case to Washington. At that time, the NLRB only had two members seated, out of 5, and I didn't win. If it had been later, after President Obama was able to fill those seats, I'm guessing the outcome would have been very, very different. I learned a lot, all on the job, from the union I was working with. Not the least of which was confidence. Confidence not only in myself and my abilities, but also in what I was speaking about and fighting for, and the ways of the world. These people I was was fighting for were mostly uneducated folks who were being taken advantage of, and who didn't know how to recognize it (in the form of Independent Contractor Agreements and fancy accounting). Had we won, we would have been only the second such group in the country to have won protections as Independent Contractors in our field (at that time).

(36,343 posts)Clinton, along with many liberals in the Senate, voted against it. Lots of Repubs voted for it.

(5,902 posts)Hillary would be the best GOTV incentive for Republican voters you can possibly imagine. She doesn't have a prayer against Trump, and I'm glad more Democratic voters are beginning to see that.

(30,251 posts)Despite the shrinking lead, Steve Mitchell, CEO of Mitchell Research & Communications said Clinton's lead will probably hold.
Hillary Clinton continues to lead Bernie Sanders by a large margin, but her lead has been getting smaller this week. Clinton still seems poised to win in Michigan next Tuesday, Mitchell said.

(7,006 posts)There has NOT been talk of any poll in Michigan in the Democratic Primary since all this week, last week, that month prior -- then all of a sudden today, Fox 2 News has a magical poll....
I smell BS.
