Poll: McCain leads Obama By 3% in Michigan McCain’s Strong Support Among Independents and Male voters gives him a slight 46% - 43% lead in a Toss-Up State LANSING – A poll released today by Inside Michigan Politics shows that Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain has a slim three (3) point lead over Barack Obama in Michigan’s latest poll. The poll shows that both candidates have strong support with their base voters, but McCain’s support among Independent voters 45%- 37% (+8%) puts him on top in this toss-up state “John McCain has a track record with Michigan Independent voters,” said Bill Ballenger, Editor of Inside Michigan Politics. “The current polling shows that they still like him and they like and support Sarah Palin as his running mate.” The poll showed that Obama continues to show strong support among women (+2%), young voters (+16%), African Americans (+89%), voters living in the Detroit Metro area (+9%) along with his traditional Democratic base. John McCain is showing strength among blue–collar voters (+10%), men (+9%), white males (+29%), conservatives (+62%) and voters living in West Michigan (+12%) and the Flint/Saginaw/Bay City Area (+8%).

When was the poll taken...
This should surely get some tongues wagging...
LOL. If these turds and a-holes aren't "the traditional Democratic base," then who is? Who is left? Sheesh.
THIS IS REALLY, REALLY BIG!!!!!!
Well, McCain may not carry Michigan, but at least this news forces Obama to defend a blue state.
Will he have to propose a $100B relief package to the auto industry to win?
This isn’t big news. It’s a GOP poll, showing Michigan up for grabs. Which we already knew from other polls and both campaigns’ activities.
That's what she said.
Now who’s being a negative Nancy ?
Not quite. This is a GOP pollster. Although, a Dem pollster showed Obama leading only by 43-42 last week. MI is going to be close again, but it is leaning Dem as according to Rasmussen.
I’m sure the wonderful towns of Detroit, Flint, Pontiac, and Lansing will produce a lot of questionable votes for O.
It will take a lot to offset those.
I was there for the ‘67 “summer of love”.
Luckily I’m 350 miles away now.
I checked out your link and I am not seeing what in the client list makes you think it is a republican poll.
Is this good news or more blah, blah, blah...?
Did you see the scenario on fox this morning where the race could be tied, and the congress picks the president? Yeah.
If they win the states they are each leading in, today, then it will be tied 269 to 269.
I was wondering why Obama was spending so much time in Montana trying to get her 3 votes. Because that could very well tip him over the top. McCain is ahead in the polls, but the governor has already admited to having the AP wire service in his pocket, and to election fraud...so, he could very well cheat his way to a win. Get fraudulant poll published and change the votes.
The poll was conducted by Marketing Resource Group, Inc. (MRG) of Lansing,
Michigan, between September 15 and 19. It sampled 600 likely voters in Michigan and
has a statistical margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percent. MRG has been polling
Michigan voters on political issues for more than 28 years.
McCain will have more real votes, but when the votes from Wayne County come in you can bet that Obama will have more votes.
McCain can offer a Drilling plan to help the Auto Industry recover immediately.
Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops
