As President Biden visited Traverse City, Mich. over the weekend, talk of the decline in voter approval for Biden ally and Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer dominated political talk in the Wolverine State.
Most of the talk about Whitmer’s decline centers on a recent Competitive Edge Research poll showing that among likely voters statewide, the governor actually loses to former Detroit Police Chief and leading GOP hopeful James Craig by 45% to 38%.
Echoing the views of many Michiganders of varying political leanings, former State GOP Chairman and Republican National Committeeman Saul Anuzis told Newsmax that “Whitmer has disenfranchised voters across the state. If she can’t get her fair share of votes from outstate [outside Detroit], it makes it challenging for her.”
Anuzis added that “[a]ssuming Craig can outperform in Detroit because of his record as police chief, Michigan is definitely in play.”
Whitmer’s vulnerable standing at this point is usually attributed to her ordering an extended lockdown in the state that dealt a severe blow to Michigan’s restaurants and other small businesses.
Earlier this year, Michiganders voted to strip Whitmer of the emergency powers through which she ordered the lockdown.
Last month, a Michigan Regional Chamber of Commerce poll showed that 50% of state voters approved of her performance as governor and a record 44% disapproved.
Craig, who is black, is considered the strong favorite to become the Republican nominee in 2022.
Last week, he hit hard at President Biden’s call for stronger gun control laws.
“We don’t have a gun problem in America,” Craig told Fox News, “What we have is a criminal problem. . … Criminals don’t follow the law. They’re going to get guns, so what do we want to focus on? Getting guns from law-abiding citizens?. … It’s not about guns; it’s about criminals who have guns, and they don’t get the guns legally. That’s the bottom line.”

Michigan’s Gov. Whitmer Trails In New Poll
Anybody with common sense is my pick! Except this dumb lying Whitmer!
lesbian lgbtq whitmer and her deviate administration are corrupt to the core.
Biden is confused on all issues. But when talking about guns how do you expect – Joe – to control guns with the unrestricted ooen borders he champions? You cannot control a damned thing when you have unrestricted open borders. That goes for guns and weapons far more dangerous – drugs – kids for the pedophiles AND viruses.
“Blaming guns for murders is like blaming pencils for misspelled words.” If the people of Michigan are stupid enough to re-elect Whitmer – then they get what they deserve.
Here in Michigan. Most people didn’t vote for the dictator. Our elections have been rigged for years.. Detroit has more votes than the whole state which is a lie. Joe Biden is a total idiot and failure. Republicans in Michigan are useless.. A bunch of of whiners. The people in Michigan government are afraid of the governor.. A bunch of mostly men. Michigan is just a hell hole. Don’t come here. We have alot of Gestapo who are only out to control the people.. Alot of mayors have done nothing to help the businesses in their cities but want their taxes. Alot of us would leave but with this lockdown it takes everything we have to pay bills. Food stores are keeping food off the shelves and are charging three times price.
If we can turn 2 or 3 state governor from blue to red, It will help a lot in the 2024 election
They need to GET RID of Whitmer, and ALL of the Democrat TRASH and start voting for Republicans before there is NOTHING left of Mich. to save !!!!!!!!!!!!
Who took this poll in Michigan? Not one person I know took that poll. Any one with a brain would not vote for the dictator. These polls are only given to democrats. Is there that many idiots in Michigan who think this governor is doing a good job?. Stupidityville is Michigan. Uninformed lazy people. I bet they ones saying yes are the lazy people getting checks from Joe Biden not to work. I bet these lazy people wouldn’t defend America with China invades America. Sickening what is happening in Michigan.
Never underestimate ignorant DemonRAT voters.
Come now, a candidate uses rational thinking. Yes I know he is a conservative.
Who in their RIGHT MIND believes guns used in crimes are purchased through legal means?
Gov which was unpopular over a year ago, and I find the poll that claims she still has a 50% approval rating, something sounds fishy
It’ll take the people of Michigan to vote her out of office.
LOL..they put the moron in!!!
Need to audit the registered voter list and purge if needed. Need to get involved in your local Republican Party and clean that up.
We have no problem with weapons, we have big problems with the government!
Just Democratic trash they lies about everything. Flints water still sucks.
I tried on FACEBOOK to comment on this but I was BLOCKED FROM DOING SO! But I hope the GOOD, SANE people of MICHIGAN do the right thing and get rid of this DO-NOTHING SO-CALLED GOVERNOR WHITMER, for their own good!
Gov. Whitmer needs to be removed ASAP. She is self-centered and Crooked
Little by little, the crooks and haters of real democracy will be gone. This
gal has pulled just too many dumb moves to be allowed to be a Gov.
of ANY state. Witmer got a lot of power and it went DIRECTLY TO HER
HEAD. She really isn’t God’s gift to Michigan nor does she know how
to govern for her people, just herself, the people found out rather quickly.
It does “all come out in the wash”…and she did it to HERSELF.
We can only hope…one down maybe? and MANY MORE TO GO!
“The crooks” got away from us….they were always there but under cover,
so to speak. With the Squad coming in, with all their noise without
much intelligence, things got out of hand. They will be squashed. God
IS NOT MOCKED. Hate will not survive. Get to the polls and keep
America strong.
