It appears to be very close based on these three polls from the same time period.

This is a sincere request to the good primary voters in the states of Michigan and Arizona. Mitt Romney is not the “One”!!! You are throwing away your vote, if you cast it for Mitt Romney. Romney is so out of touch with the common American, that he is actually much worse of a POTUS candidate then John “Obama is a good man) McCain ever was. Obama wants to run aginst Romney.

He prays every day that Romney gets the GOP nod!!! So.......at the end of the day, a vote for Romney is not only a wasted vote, it is a vote for four more years of Obama and the destruction of these United States of America!!! Vote for Santorum or Gingrich if you care about your country, America!!!

Santorum editorial in Michigan Capitol Confidential today.

There’s one from the other guy there too.

Yes! Thank God! Santorum must take Michigan and Arizona! If he does this, we might end up with a great candidate. Romney will be done if he loses these two states. He might stay in but it will be just to collect delegates in liberal states. I know some want to go to the convention without a winner but that makes me nervous. What guarantee is there that we would end up a conservative?

Newt has the real potential here to tip MI to Romney, but I think Romney would win MI anyway.

Thank you, Lord - prayers being answered!

Steve Mitchell polls are usually pretty good. I don’t know if Santorum will hang on here or not with the nasty robocalls and negative ads going 10-1 against him, but he still has a chance. It will come down to turnout. He has my vote.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Here are Santorums polls in every state so far and the results: Iowa – polls 16% result 24% (underpolled 8 points) New Hampshire – polls 11% Result 9% South Carolina – polls 11% Results 17% (underpolled 6 points) Florida – polls 13% results 13% Nevada – polls 8% results 10% – (underpolled 2) Colorado – polls 27% results 40% – (underpolled 13%) Maine – polls 2% results 18% – (underpolled 16%) Minnesota – polls 33% result 45% – (underpolled 12%) Missouri – polls 45% result 55% – (underpolled 10%) combine this with Newt supporters crossing over to vote Santorum to help stick it to Romney and ... Santorum might just pull this off!

I hope and dare PRAY it works. I donated again. Even small amounts help. He’s spending his money wisely. I like his ads.

Battle of the polls??

PPP: Romney with edge in Michigan, crushing lead in Arizona

I fully support Newt Gingrich but his ability to rise up in the polls is dependent on Romney losing.

A Michigan loss would be important to helping Newt in the long run.

I’d vote for Santorum if I lived in Michigan just for that purpose.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Here’s praying.

The election turns on Michigan. If Romney loses, the money interests will write him off as a poor investment.

If Rick wins, Newt remains alive, too.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

MIRS???? Who is paying for all these polls that are all over the place?

[ohioWfan]

YESSSS!!!!

[throwback]

I watched Romney speak at a couple events in Michigan on CSPAN over the weekend. He may win, but it won’t be because he inspires anybody. I can’t believe he connects with anybody. He always ends up back at his only real argument “vote for me, I can win”. I guess he did have the addendum, “and I grew up here”.

[MSF BU]

I sympathize with the 11%. It will be interesting to see how they break but this cannot be helping Romney.
