A new Denno-Noor poll in Michigan finds Lt. Gov. John Cherry (D) leading the Democratic pack to replace Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D), "but he's generating little enthusiasm among voters." Cherry leads with just 20%, followed by Andy Dillon (D) at 6% and George Perles (D) also at 6%.
The GOP race is also wide open with Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R) at 21%, followed by Mike Cox at 15% and Michael Bouchard (R) at 13%.
Interesting finding: Fully
54% of voters surveyed said they were "likely" or "very likely" to consider an
independent rather than a Republican or Democrat next year. Only 12%
said they definitely would not.
