"Republicans either love him or hate him. There’s no in-between,” said Richard Czuba, president of the Glengariff Group Inc., a Lansing polling firm that conducted the Feb. 14-16 telephone survey, according to the Detroit News.. “Those undecided voters don’t like him.”
More than half the voters said they're still open to who they will ultimately vote for.
