Sen. Debbie Stabenow told Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Richie, to stay in his lane. Based on a poll from Delphi Analytica, Ritchie leads Stabenow 30% – 26% in their latest snapshot.

Just over a week ago, Ritchie posted this on his Twitter account to join the Senate race:

This Michigan race is very public because Ritchie has fans across America and if he can solidify his position and maintain a lead on Stabenow, he stands a great chance of pulling off an upset greater than President Trump.

Debbie Stabenow is the incumbent Democratic Michigan senator who is scheduled to defend her seat in 2018. Ritchie intends to run as a Republican who would likely have to defeat a crowded primary field to challenge Stabenow.

To gauge Ritchie’s chances in a hypothetical general election matchup, Delta Analytica conducted a poll from July 14-18 of 668 Michigan residents. Of respondents who stated a preference between Debbie Stabenow and Robert Ritchie, 54% stated they would vote for Ritchie while 46% said they would vote for Debbie Stabenow. These results could indicate that Ritchie is a popular figure in Michigan, Debbie Stabenow is unpopular, or some combination of concurrent trends. The relatively large, 44%, number of undecided respondents may be due to the early stages of the campaign.

Way to go Kid Rock. I’m skeptical, but it’s not my state, and you’re a God fearing America loving patriot, and we don’t have enough of them in Senate or Congress so more power to you.

I don’t think it possible for any politician to win a popularity contest against one of Michigan’s most loved musical talents.

What this may be proving is that the prior need for political parties may be at an end because candidates can now reach the public directly. The end of career politicians may also be at an end.
