Well here in NC a RTW state, unemployment is high, average earnings are down around 39K. Having transfered here from NJ with the same co. and the same job, earnings dropped around 8k. Lucky for me I maxed my pension out in NJ. RTW means lower earnings and less job security

Reason: info
And that's against a "generic Democrat." Generic candidates usually poll better than real ones.
They also had his approval higher than Obama's in the state and his disapproval much lower than Obama's.

I haven't seen MI-specific polling on this, but polling generally shows that Americans do support right-to-work laws even in states with high unionization. In Ohio, they didn't like the attempts to ban collective bargaining for all public employees, but they also support RTW.
Snyder and the Koch Bros Mich GOP learned from the mistake Kasich made in Ohio. They made sure the new "Right to Work yourself to death for peanuts" bill included some spending. Under MI law, that means it is not subject to a recall vote by the people:

Ever consider the difference between the cost of living in NC and the cost of living in NJ?

Less job security for those who dont really want to do their jobs. Most employers are not going to just fire employees willy nilly! Who wants to train people all the time.
So I guess if you are a slacker type of worker you would have a problem and even then most employers give more than enough opportunities to change that before they fire you.
This is ridiculous. If the 2012 election in Michigan was fair there would be a Democratic controlled legislature as more people vote for Democratic House and Senate candidates. But due to the extreme Republican gerrymandering they kept control of both houses against the will of the people.
Ever consider that with nothing to to worry about (unions) that a large Co. will pay at the lowest rates it can?
Ever consider that when unemployment is low, workers have more options and can demand more? Ever consider that Democrats support people being forced to contribute to them whether they like it or not?

No. Cost of living in North Carolina is nowhere near as high as in New Jersey even when looking at costs other than taxes. That is a laughable assertion.
Just for kicks, let's look at average home prices:
Texas is a RTW state and we're booming. No ones working to death for Peanuts.
If you want any of your jobs back and a healthy Detroit, dump the unions.
But I thought a lot of new jobs in Texas have been low paying ones.
