A new poll shows Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon slowly closing the gap between her and Democrat Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan.

Surveying 1,138 registered Michigan voters between October 3-7, the CBS News/YouGov poll showed that Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has a six-point lead over Republican challenger Tudor Dixon — 53 percent to 47 percent. A Detroit News poll in early September showed Whitmer leading Dixon by 13 points.
