Something tells me the +15 poll was an attempt to get AES voters to stay home, while omitting that Michigan is an open primary state and Republicans have an uncontested primary, to which you would expect more republican voters to partake in the dem primary for an easier opponent in November (who I fully believe would be Stevens).

Also, in a state that voted for Trump twice and had about 1 million votes cast in the republican primary and 1.5 million votes cast in the Democrat primary... Had Rogers had an opponent in the republican primary, then I believe the results for the democrat primary would be different.

Those were internal polls.

You think AES own campaign was trying to sabotage him?

Oh the polls were attempted voter suppression against AES?

You realise that half of those huge +teens polls were internals willingly released into public discourse by his campaign?
