Sen. Levin secure against any Republican in 2014

Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's latest poll finds Democratic Senator sitting pretty with a net +11 point approval rating 46/35. While that number is very solid; Junior Senator has even higher approval: 55/36. Relatively prominent Republicans in the State had poor name recognition among voters. U.S. Reps and Mike Rogers were seen as more unfavorable than favorable, 11/17 and 17/18 respectively. In both cases, over 65% of respondents had no opinion either way, which suggests familiarity is the issue, not necessarily favorability. Rep was the only Republican polled to receive a net positive favorability 34/23. Only 15% of voters knew State Sen. Roger Kahn well enough to have an opinion about him. State Attorney General Bill Schuette has a slight disapproval of 18/22, with 60% not sure.

In hypothetical head-to-heads for the 2014 Senate seat, Carl Levin dominated against any potential Republican opponent. Poor name recognition is a clear factor: Candice Miller had the highest name recognition of all the Republicans polled; and she fared the best against Levin, 52/34. Amash performed second-best, 53/32. Kahn and Schuette each trail Levin by 22 points, 53/31 and 54/32 respectively. Rogers performed the worst-55/31.

Michigan voters approve of the job President Obama is doing 53/44.

Voters are more likely to be University of Michigan fans, than Michigan State fans- 44/30. 50% of respondents’ favorite NFL team is the Detroit Lions, followed by the Packers at 9% and the Browns at 8%.

Some interesting gender breakdowns appeared: Carl Levin performed just as well among women as men 46/46. Candice Miller performed significantly better among men than women, 44/27. And Michigan has the same amount of male and female fans: 44/44.

“If Carl Levin wants to run for another term in 2014 it looks like he’ll be pretty safe,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “And even if he doesn’t run the Republican bench doesn’t seem to be very strong.”

PPP surveyed 650 Michigan voters from December 13th to 16th. The margin of error is +/- 3.8 percentage points. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews.
