A poll conducted by the Public Policy Polling shows that Gov. Rick Snyder would lose to a Democrat in an election today.
The poll indicates that Snyder has regained ground in popularity since signing right-to-work legislation in December.
The polling firm states on its website:
The right to work law continues to be a major contributor to Snyder's problems. Only 39% of voters in the state support it, while 48% are opposed. Those numbers are pretty similar to the 41/51 spread we found in December- the passage of time isn't changing voters' opposition to the bill.
Snyder trails every Democrat we tested in hypothetical reelection contests. Congressman Gary Peters does the best, leading Snyder by 7 points at 44-37. 2010 nominee Virg Bernero has a 5 point lead at 43-38, representing a 23 point reversal from their first showdown when Snyder won by 18. And former Congressman Mark Schauer leads Snyder by a 40/36 spread.
The poll also showed only 37% of voters in the state approve of the job he's doing to 54% who disapprove. On the upside, 57 percent of the voters support his decision to appoint an emergency manager.
