The torrent of bad polling data continues for Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero in his race against Republican candidate Rick Snyder for the governor’s seat.

Snyder is ahead of the Lansing mayor 56.2 percent to 35.9 percent among likely November general election voters, according to a Detroit News/Local 4 WDIV poll released Thursday.
The Ann Arbor businessman’s margin is roughly the same as he had in a Detroit News/Local 4 WDIV poll taken just days after the primary. Voters seem to be making up their minds early as the number of undecideds has fallen from 17.8 percent in August to 7.5 percent today.
That means Bernero needs to convert people who have already made up their mind for Snyder in order to have a chance in November, something that is far more difficult to do than swaying the minds of undecided voters.
