............ '- ..., ,vl ~ hit on MEA hurt Nov.8 ? Gv. John Engler's path to a a sec. nd term is not yet assured, even though Michigan's Democrats will not be united behind a single candidate until the Aug, 2 primary forces them to choose, Instead, 42 percent of all respondents to The Detroit News poll taken by South. field-based Nordhaus Research Inc. say they will vote for or favor a second Engler term, but 44 percent say they defi. nitely or probably would vote against him. The governor's major problem is with Michigan women, He gets only 37 percent solid and tentative support among all women m the poll, as contrasted with 46 percent who oppose his candidacy. The poll shows an even split for and against Engler among men. Part of his problem with women may stem from his administration's all-out attack on the Michigan Education Association, and by inference, on public school ',. ~¥..l-~l*"'k"~~ ,." f~~~~\""" .Q ",\.l""~"').:i",, ~ ~ ~~~\,. :.. ~.~".",J'~~~",. \',; '\~ '1'; ~~~l~~~ teachers and parents who back their children's teachers. But with the primary just weeks away, no single Democrat has emerged as a clear choice. In fact, former Congressman Howard Wolpe led The Detroit News poll with 19 percent support followed closely by state Sen. Deborah Stabenow, with 15 percent backing. Other Detroit News polling results help explain the governor's lack of strength in spite of an economy that IS expanding and an unemployment rate that is declining. The poll showed that 27 percent of the respondents list improving the economy and creating jobs as the state government's top priority this year, a figure that critics explain emerges from the public perception that the economy's improvement has been felt unevenly around the state. . Tim Naylor of Nordhaus said, however, that the explanation may lie in the lag time often perceived beween when things start to get better and when people recog. nize the improvement. Democrats, in the Detroit newspaper's view, believe the recovery is an illusion for many Michiganians, and that the decreasing unemployment rate means little because high-wage manufacturing jobs have been replaced by low-paying service Jobs. For the governor, "Michigan is back" has become a popular theme, the Detroit paper went on, as Engler brags about the declining jobless rate, gains in personal income and corporate profits, and earn. ings growth for small and medium-size busmesses. While more of the public may be sold on that view as time passes, people who have not benefited from the economic re- \.vy.:Jry,or see ..... e prO::lp~1 Vi. ""p'VY"'- ment in their own jobs or bus mess, obviously will continue to challenge Engler's claim that "Michigan is back." Even the poll finding that the p~bhc'sl third priority for state gov~~ent IS ~pgrading the schools hardly mdicates sails. I faction with the so-called Engler educa.: tion reform package passed by the Legislature. That feeling, in fact, may be a reaction not only to the legIslation itself b~t. also to the all-out attack that the adm~mstration made on the Michigan EducatIOn As. sociation and, as we've said, by inference, an attack on public school teachers and the parents who support them. As might be expected, the MEA is responding to the Engler attack with a well-financed campaign of criticism of and opposition to the governor which, if this early poll IS accurate, could jeopardize his re-election, Since Engler has no primary opposition, time appears to be on his side, especially . if the economic recovery continues. If more people see improvements in their own situations, the governor could ' easily win in November even though his public standing now just oofore the Aug. 2. primary appears to be somewhat precarIOus.
