GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump just may be what Michigan Democrats need to recapture control of the state House of Representatives.
Trump is trailing in the polls in Michigan, and 60 percent of likely voters said he's not qualified to be president, according to a Detroit News-WDIV poll.
Jonathan Oosting of the Detroit News reports about the latest poll:
Last week’s survey results suggest Trump could be a drag on down-ballot Republicans if he does not rebound by November, fueling optimism among Democrats they can pick up the nine state House seats needed for their first true majority since the GOP wave of 2010 gave Republicans total control of state government.
The latest poll numbers and voter qualms about Trump bode “very well” for the Democrats’ state House candidates, said Rep. Adam Zemke, co-chair of the House Democrat campaign team.
