Mark Schauer represents 40 percent of the 7th District already as a state Senator (Calhoun and Jackson counties), so presumably those voters know who he is.<BR/><BR/>It's true, in the last public poll I saw (<A HREF="http://www.walbergwatch.com/2008/03/more-from-detroit-news-poll.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>, and more information <A HREF="http://info.detnews.com/redesign/blogs/dcblog/index.cfm?blogid=456" REL="nofollow">here</A>), Senator Schauer did have relatively low name recognition... only <B>47 percent</B> of voters knew who he was, versus 93 percent for Congressman Walberg. So, yes, Schauer was at a disadvantage, but that was March.<BR/><BR/>Even assuming that the name identification numbers are the same today as they were then, we've still got four long months to go before November. Schauer has been outraising Walberg every quarter so far. Do you really think he can't close the gap?<BR/><BR/>Besides, if only 5 percent knew who Schauer was and he was still doing as well against Walberg as he is in polling, then I'd say that's a bad sign for Walberg!Fitzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10416823898560265455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32534894.post-73605949440331623442008-07-02T17:13:00.000-04:002008-07-02T17:13:00.000-04:00Only 5% of the people in district 7 even know who ...Only 5% of the people in district 7 even know who Mark Schauer is. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
