The Hill:
Possible GOP Senate hopeful Kid Rock is trailing Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) by double digits in a new poll.
The musician, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, trails the senior Democratic senator from Michigan, 52 to 34 percent, in a hypothetical match-up, according to a Market Resource Group poll released early Thursday.
MRG's president, Tom Shields, said Ritchie has so far been unable to translate his star power into support among voters.
“Kid Rock would have an uphill climb against Stabenow if he were serious about getting into the race,” Shields said in a statement.
The poll shows Democrats supporting Stabenow by an 87 to 9 percent margin, while Republicans were more tepid in their support of Ritchie. Sixty-six percent of Republicans said they would support him, while 13 percent would support Stabenow and 20 percent are undecided or won't vote.
Michigan Republicans' deep bench also includes another right-wing rocker, Ted Nugent.
