Analysis
This is another short poll based story. Unlike previous polls that asked people which of the two gubernatorial candidates they would vote for, this poll asks if people have a “favorable” opinion of the candidates. No claification is made as to how accurate an indicator this is to how people would actually vote. Nor is it noted that a larger percentage of people actaully had an opinion about the Governor, 82% while only 63% of the people surveyed had an opinion on challenger Dick DeVos. Beyond that, approval ratings have little value in terms of actually informing viewers as to the qualities of the candidates.
