The governor gets good news right before his State of the State address, though skeptics could wonder about its validity.
Here's how Paul Egan lays it out in the Detroit Free Press:
A new poll suggests Gov. Rick Snyder’s popularity has not been hurt by his December about-face on right-to-work legislation.
The poll by the Republican firm, Mitchell Research & Communications, released on the eve of Snyder’s third State of the State address, is sharply at odds with a poll released Dec. 18 by a Democratic polling firm.
Steve Mitchell of West Bloomfield tells Egan that registered voters have put the hot-button issue "more in perspective" during the past month.
The Mitchell poll shows Snyder with a 50% approval rating, up 3 percentage points from a poll Mitchell took in December. It also shows 50% support for the controversial right-to-work legislation. . . .
Public Policy Polling, based in North Carolina four weeks ago found 38% approval of Snyder and 41% support for the right-to-work legislation approved and signed Dec. 11, the article notes.
