MI-GOV: Benson has a huge lead in Democratic governor primary, poll shows
LANSING, Mich. — Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has a 60-percentage-point lead over her Democratic gubernatorial opponent, Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson, in the Aug. 4 primary election that's less than three weeks away, according to a new statewide poll.
Benson leads Swanson 72% to 12%, with roughly 16% of Democrats remaining undecided, according to the poll conducted by Lansing-based Glengariff Group and commissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Channel 4). The survey of 500 likely primary voters also showed Benson far outstrips Swanson in name identification.
The poll was conducted July 8-11 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. A little more than 8 out of 10 participants were contacted via their cell phones and the others were reached over landline.
"There's no race here," said pollster Richard Czuba, founder of Glengariff. "Jocelyn Benson is cruising to a very large win."
