Here's the methodology:
A sample of 600 households was drawn in the State of Michigan and
stratified by city and township within county, based upon average voter turnout
in past statewide general elections. All respondents were screened to assure
that they are registered to vote in Michigan at that address. N=161 for likely
republican primary voters.
The sample was drawn from a list of voters likely to vote in next year's
general election, based on their past vote history. In each group of four
interviews, two male respondents and two female respondents were required in
order to ensure an equal geographical representation of males and females. Given
the sample size of 600 and the method of random selection, the statistical
margin of error can be reliably set at 4.1%within a 95% degree of confidence. In
other words, in 95 out of every 100 responses, the "surveyed value" will be
within plus or minus 4.1% of the "true value."

Does Your Candidate Have Plan to Save U.S. Manufacturing?
For the October 9 Republican debate in Dearborn, the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) urges Michigan voters to challenge their presidential candidates regarding America’s manufacturing crisis.
The United States racked up a $763 billion trade deficit in 2006, and more than 40,000 U.S. factories have closed since 2000. Michigan has lost more than 279,000 manufacturing employees. These lost factories, and our enormous trade deficit, do not happen by accident. U.S. manufacturers face ongoing, unfair competition from overseas. For example, China employs currency manipulation—a practice deemed illegal under international law—to artificially lower the cost of their goods while raising the price of U.S. exports. China also dumps product in the U.S. and illegally subsidizes its manufacturing. In the past five years alone, China’s state-run economy has poured $52 billion into its steel production, a serious challenge to private American steel producers.
We believe it’s high time that our presidential candidates address this illegal competition confronting American businesses, and offer concrete solutions about how to strengthen U.S. manufacturing.
At the Dearborn debate, and elsewhere, ask your candidates to explain how they’ll stand up for American manufacturing. Ask them directly:
1. What specific policies will you support to strengthen the American manufacturing base, which is vital to our economic and national security?
2. What steps will you take to enforce our trade laws and hold cheating countries like China accountable?
These are serious questions—ones that deserve forthright answers.

Stevencap,
I agree wholeheartedly with you! This is a crucial issue that needs to be talked about much more.
Duncan Hunter is the man you are describing. He predicted every consequence that some of our trade deals have had and fought against them from the start . He's not against trade, but only when it's fair. Many of our trade deals are not fair and now China is cheating on already unfair trade deals. Many of the current candidates have supported such flawed trade deals and are still sticking to them. Duncan has the record, the responsibility, and the rhetoric. He's going to get something done if you elect him.
