McCain takes lead in Michigan
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Michigan should drop - once people there wake up and connect energy policy to their future livelihood.
Maybe the young are smart enough to get it.
MI, but this particular poll shows the Obamessiah getting only 77% of the black vote. I just can’t see it.

I can, I have been saying that black people can see through this fraud, some of them are going to conclude that pastor James David Manning is right and Obama is the worst thing that could happen to the black cause in the long run. I live in a part of South Carolina that is almost fifty percent black and not one black person has told me that they think Obama would be a good president. They used to praise Bill Clinton without end but they aren’t praising Obama that way. Most of them act as though they don’t even know there is an election coming up.
They won't vote for Bacrock. Trust me on that. Those democrats there won't vote for to use a term I can repeat, "those people."
No offense but how large is the Hispanic population in Michigan? Seems to me to be equivalent to the Swedish vote in Texas.
This is all wonderful, and popcorn, too.
But...this support is a mile wide and an inch deep. MacPalin needs to grow roots now.
How? By getting away from the negative attacks and lessening the rancor and hitting ‘em on the ISSUES!
Mac needs to demonstrate where he is different from O’Bama and BUSH. He needs to a “features and benefits” value proposition. Show why his positions are better for each and every American than O’Bama’s by individualizing them.
Point by point, make the points of contention between him and the President abundantly clear.
And, he needs to let Gov. Palin sell herself and bond with the people.
There is a point in time at which the attacks will blowback, he really can’t afford to find that point.
Too much cheating in Michigan. Between Detroit and the Union buds counting the votes, the GOP will lose by a slim margin in MI. They will wait until all districts are in and voila Detroit will come in with their results and put Bacrock over the top. Especially with a RAT governor. No way are they going to let the GOP win MI.
I think the same thing will happen in PA.
In fact, the percentage of the AA vote subject to corrupt political manipulation is far higher than the percentage of the white vote subject to the same problems.
The consequence is that all attempts to poll African-Americans invariably yield questionable results ~ and these polls are no exception to that rule.
As a better understanding of Obama develops now that he's facing real opponents for the first time, serious changes in the results should be noticed.
We need to keep playing like we’re 10 points down.
The economy’s hit hard in the Midwest, and Obama can and will take advantage of that.
Complacency = loss.
The real problem for Obummer is that 97% of the DemonRATS have decided leaving only 3% of them undecided. That means for him to win—barring a real gaff by the Republicans—he needs a lot of support from the Michigan Republicans (who won’t ever support him other than by staying home on election day) and the Michigan ndependents (many of whom were dissed by Obummer with his clinging to their God and their guns speech in San Francisco). And McCain has a Michigan weapon—Mitt Romney.
If so, then we should see it reflected in multiple polls across multiple locations.
Obama and his cult followers in the media are really starting to get females PO’d. They wont take this constant attacks on Palin and her family. And for the record men are reaching the boiling point.
Hey crusty...EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!!
“And McCain’s carrying Hispanics almost 2:1? I don’t think so.”
However, the black, 18-29 and female results are definitely out of whack. Another thing to consider is that there likely is a typo for Obama’s support among 30-44 and 45-64, since his total wouldn’t be 44% if he was really getting scores in the 50s with such groups-—given that the McCain
+ Obama percentages for those two age groups add up to 102% (!) and 99%, respectively, while among all age groups there are 3% for others and 8% undecided, I think that it’s likely that Obama’s percentage among 30-44 and 45-64 was actually 10% below what was reported.
There is one conceivable way that this poll can make marginal sense.
First, the black samplings did not add to 100%. So it’s 77 of 93, not 77 of 100. Also . . . black women may have send a few percent across the aisle. They heard the “bro’s before ho’s” Obot chant, just like the PUMAs did.
It surprised me, too, but not that much. Remember “grandma’s pills”?
“Seems to me to be equivalent to the Swedish vote in Texas.”
But, yes, there aren’t that many Hispanic likely voters in Michigan, and on an earlier post I speculated that McCain’s 63% came from getting 12 out of 19 Hispanics in the poll.
I do think we win Michigan in the end, but not with these polls numbers. Seniors will make the difference.
