Survey Says Butler Wont Get it Done Today

In a SurveyUSA poll released on the eve of today's primary in Michigan, Rev. Keith Butler finds himself down by 23 points (http://www.blackpolicy.org/black-races.php?s=MI) to Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard in the Republican contest for the US Senate. The winner of the race will face incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow.

Butler, a former Detroit City Councilman, has trailed by at least 20 points in most polls since mid-June after trailing by only five points in May and June. Both Butler and Bouchard trail Senator Stabenow by double digits, but Bouchard seems to have a better chance at knocking off the first termer in the fall.
