If Michigan is competitive for Romney, 0bama is toast...
Trivial but it is interesting that they round 45.49 up to 46.
I notice they didn’t even ask if the person being polled was a registered voter, let alone ‘likely to vote this fall’.
Just think if Romney and Ryan actually got passionate on the campaign trail. As is, not much fire in the belly.
Maybe they should ask Sarah to campaign with them.
Or Donald Trump, he could have a whiteboard with all Obama’s failures and yell “You’re fired!”
Gotta get the base pumped up, guys.
Overwhelmingly women +16% and Democrats +9% sampled.
And notice how the left names the leftist ballot proposals. That is slimy; Clean Energy initiative, Protect Our Jobs, The Michigan Alliance for Prosperity. Why not call them all; Mom and Hot Apple Pie,
If MI is close why aren’t R/R killing in OH?
If that poll is valid the undecided should give it to R.
Wow. Was this one of the states that Romney considered “in-play” as in going to spend money here?
For example, that 5.48% listed as "prefer another candidate?" Who? Many of us prefer another candidate but the only choices are Romney and Obama. On November 6, those people are going to have to choose between the two of them. These voters have apparently already decided not to support the incumbent so they are Romney's to win.
Another 5.38% are undecided. Again, these are mostly Romney's votes. Historically, undecideds break for the challenger at least 2-1 margin. In this election, I'm thinking it will be more like a 4-1 or 5-1 margin due to the piss-poor performance of the incumbent. If you aren't already in Obama's camp (and either collecting food stamps or living off daddy's trust fund), then you will never be.
The vast majority of this 11% will go to Romney. If this poll is accurate, Obama is going to lose Michigan.
Whatever happened to that whole thing a week or two back about Romney abandoning MI?
So why does RCP still have Michigan as a “Lean 0bama” state???? A two point lead to me means “tossup”.
I read an article last week that the Romney’s team has pulled out all ads in Michigan (where they’re more likely to lose) and increasing more ads in Wisconsin (where they’re more likely to win).
So I think the RCP poll was may be part of a plan by the Dems to get Romney to pour more money into advertisement in Michigan.
I could be wrong, but I’m just hoping Michigan would vote for Romney in November.
All signs point to a Romney victory in some of the lean-Obama states.
These are the polls that have any relevance. We don’t go by the popular vote, we go by the Electoral College. Just ask Al Gore.
Was this one poll or an average of polls?
