Rep. Elisa Slotkin (Trump +7 district) says Medicare for all won’t play with voters, too much skepticism of govt management.

excerpt:
President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are still dropping — and the effects of that plunge are reverberating across the House map.
A new internal GOP poll found Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) locked in a tight race with her Republican challenger in her Lansing-based battleground, with the president’s approval underwater by 26 points. It’s just one survey, paid for by the Republican nominee, state Sen. Tom Barrett, and the National Republican Congressional Committee — but it’s emblematic of a larger problem for House Democrats in what appears to be a foreboding midterm environment.
A spate of recent GOP polling has shown Biden’s ratings dipping to new lows in districts that he carried just two years ago.
After redistricting, Biden would have narrowly carried Slotkin’s district in 2020 by less than 1 point. The survey, conducted in mid-June by the GOP polling outfit Cygnal, found that nearly 63 percent disapprove of Biden’s tenure, while only 36 percent approve.
The generic ballot is also a warning sign for Democrats. Voters favored a GOP candidate over a Democratic candidate by 11 points, 50 percent to 39 percent.
She is a prolific fundraiser and had over $5.5 million banked at the end of March. Barrett had nearly $400,000 in cash on hand.
The fact that Barrett’s poll found him in a close race with Slotkin — his advantage is within the margin of error — is notable because the incumbent has significant name ID from two battleground runs. Barrett, though a state legislator, has a much smaller profile.
