Voter’s Lack of Enthusiasm Will Present Major Challenges to Both Sides

Voters were asked on a scale of one to ten how excited they were to cast a ballot in this year’s November election. At 5.7,

voters are showing little enthusiasm at this point in casting a ballot. By comparison, voter enthusiasm in August 2012 for the

last presidential election was 7.6, and in May 2014 voter enthusiasm for a gubernatorial election was a 6.3.

The chart below compares enthusiasm to vote by party affiliation for August 2012 compared to May 2016.

Party 2012 2016

Strong Dem 8.2 6.5

Lean Dem 7.0 5.8

Independent 6.7 4.5

Lean GOP 7.8 6.0

Strong GOP 8.2 5.8

At 5.8, Republicans in particular face difficult challenge in motivating their base voters. Independent voters come in at 4.5

raising the specter of low Independent voter turnout making the 2016 election a battle of both sides to turn out their base

voters.

The most highly motivated voters at 7.3 are City of Detroit voters and at 6.9 African American voters. Caucasian voters

come in at 5.6.

of voters believing Donald Trump will win while 41% of voters believe Hillary Clinton will win.

17. The State Legislature has been considering plans to help Michigan’s largest school system, the Detroit Public Schools, deal

with its debt problem. Governor Rick Snyder, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and the Michigan Senate support a plan that would

pay off $467 million in debt for the Detroit Public Schools. In addition, the Detroit Public Schools would receive an addition

$200 million in transition costs to repair existing schools and invest in improved education programs. They argue that without

this additional funding, the Detroit Public Schools will simply start off in debt again as they grapple with these existing needs.

The State House supports a plan that would pay off the $467 million in debt for the Detroit Public Schools. In addition, the

Detroit Public Schools would receive only $33 million for transition costs to repair existing schools and invest in education

programs. State House leaders question why the state should subsidize building repairs for one single school system.

Would you say you support the Senate plan that pays off the debt and provides $200 million in transition costs, the House plan

that pays off the debt but provides $33 million in transition costs, or would you say you do not support either plan?

1. Senate plan 30.7% (184)

2. House plan 18.5% (111)

3. Do not support either plan 39.2% (235)

18. As part of this debate, the Michigan Legislature is considering the creation of a Detroit Education Commission that would

control how many new or charter schools could open in the City of Detroit. Supporters argue the commission is needed to

control the number of schools, stabilize enrollment, and stop the loss of students in Detroit Public Schools that contributes to

the school system’s debt. Opponents argue that the commission would decrease competition among schools and limit parental

choice. Would you say you support or oppose controlling the growth in charter schools in Detroit?

1. Support 42.7% (256)

2. Oppose 37.8% (227)


Now, just a few questions for statistical purposes.

19. Generally speaking, would you say you tend to vote mostly for Republican candidates, do you vote mostly for Democratic

candidates, or would you say you vote equally for both Republican and Democratic candidates? IF VOTE EQUALLY, ASK:

WOULD YOU SAY YOU LEAN MORE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, MORE TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, OR

WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE AN INDEPENDENT VOTER?

1. Democratic 32.0% (192) Democratic: 40.3%

2. Lean Democratic 8.3% (50)

3. Independent 23.8% (143) Independent: 23.8%

4. Lean Republican 10.2% (61)

5. Republican 22.2% (133) Republican: 32.4%

17. The State Legislature has been considering plans to help Michigan’s largest school system, the Detroit Public Schools, deal

with its debt problem. Governor Rick Snyder, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and the Michigan Senate support a plan that would

pay off $467 million in debt for the Detroit Public Schools. In addition, the Detroit Public Schools would receive an addition

$200 million in transition costs to repair existing schools and invest in improved education programs. They argue that without

this additional funding, the Detroit Public Schools will simply start off in debt again as they grapple with these existing needs.

The State House supports a plan that would pay off the $467 million in debt for the Detroit Public Schools. In addition, the

Detroit Public Schools would receive only $33 million for transition costs to repair existing schools and invest in education

programs. State House leaders question why the state should subsidize building repairs for one single school system.

Would you say you support the Senate plan that pays off the debt and provides $200 million in transition costs, the House plan

that pays off the debt but provides $33 million in transition costs, or would you say you do not support either plan?

18. As part of this debate, the Michigan Legislature is considering the creation of a Detroit Education Commission that would

control how many new or charter schools could open in the City of Detroit. Supporters argue the commission is needed to

control the number of schools, stabilize enrollment, and stop the loss of students in Detroit Public Schools that contributes to

the school system’s debt. Opponents argue that the commission would decrease competition among schools and limit parental

choice. Would you say you support or oppose controlling the growth in charter schools in Detroit? ASK: WOULD THAT BE

STRONGLY SUPPORT/OPPOSE OR JUST SOMEWHAT SUPPORT/OPPOSE?
