A new, exclusive News Ten survey is out tonight with Governor Jennifer Granholm widening her lead over Republican challenger Dick DeVos.

Fifty-percent of the people surveyed in the Epic-MRA poll said they will vote for the incumbent, while 42 percent say will vote for DeVos.

The last News Ten poll in July showed Granholm leading with only three-percentage points, making the race a statistical dead heat.
