(Lansing, MI)  --  As it stands now, Congressman Pete Hoekstra is on top of the Republican field of gubernatorial candidates.  A new Rasmussen Reports poll gives Hoekstra 27-percent of the vote, followed by Ann Arbor businessman Rick Snyder with 18-percent.  Attorney General Mike Cox is third, while Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard is a distant fourth.  The poll found 32-percent remain undecided.  Rasmussen also found the three Democrats running face an uphill battle in name recognition.  Between 59 and 65-percent said they don't know enough about Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, state House Speaker Andy Dillon and state Representative Alma Wheeler Smith to have an opinion on them.
