MRG of Lansing conducted this poll for the Detroit Free Press. If you click "MRG of Lansing" you get the original article. But the numbers are difficult to find. DFP tried to hide their own poll LOL.

If McCain takes Michigan, it is over for Obama - I think those people get it about their economy and look at the democratic “leadership” of their state - tax, tax, tax and look at Detroit now versus 20-30 years ago. This is a picture of future America if we let Obama rule the white house and our pocketbooks!
This is VERY good news. The national polls may be putting Obama ahead, but in this country it’s the STATES that elect the President. With McCain leading in MI and NH, I’d say things are looking pretty darn good.
Recently we saw McCain ahead in NH. Now, MI. Tied in PA and WI. Ahead in OH, moving ahead in VA. He better be careful with this bailout stuff. That bill is not popular.
In the midst of these polls showing McCain leading in MI, WV, OH, FL, VA, and close in PA, it’s clear Obama is in deep trouble. Yet in the midst of that, the Obamedia would have us believe that Obama is up in the polls. They are working overtime to try to create an alternate reality in hopes it dispirits Republicans.
Exactly. If we hold FL and OH and take PA and MI, it's over, no matter what Obama does in the other contested states.
If McCain takes Michigan, I think that he will probably make a clean sweep of all the heavily contested states in the industrial belt: PA, OH, WI, and MN.
Not that long ago a poll showed McCain within 9 points in CA and 5 points in NY.
Now we are back to large leads in the teens for Obama in both states.
The South will be close because the massive black voter turnout but probably not enough to flip any Southern state.
And I don’t include Maryland or Deleware as “Southern” LOL.
Maybe that is wishfull thinking but then again that may be the reason for the disparity between national and battleground state polls.
The best national poll for McCain is the bipartisan “Battleground Poll” that has him ahead nationally by 2 points.
Even if he is ahead 2 points nationaly he should not be ahead 3 in Michigan. Then again pollsters have no experience modeling a presidential race between a black democrat and a white republican.
Then why all the heartache out there over the national polls, with their skewed samples and wild fluctuations (even though I will concede today’s numbers stung hard)
He’s calling out Obama. Obama doesn’t want to go near this issue. So I think it might be a good strategy.
We’ll see how it shakes out.
National polls are useless. We have 50 separate presidential elections on November 4. Need to treat each of those elections separately and find a way to come up with 270 or more electoral votes.
no...if he holds Fl and Ohio, which he should, and wins either Michigan or Pa it’s over...
I think Pa is very doable....not so sure about Michigan though...
Great poster! Alternate sub title...
CHANGE. all you have left from all those thousands of dollars you worked so hard for.
I think he will look more “presidential,” but if some how the slimy Obama opposes the bailout, it could kill McCain.
I hope to have some change left after they get through with this bailout, but I’m realistic and expect to be working as a butler for a WS bigwig.
Don’t forget about the white dynamic going on, and not just in the South. There will be a lot of blanks cast out of areas that should be racking up democrat majorities.
Well, Mr. McCain is polling majorities among men, white women, Catholics, evangelicals and gun owners, yet...yet nobama the wonderkind is leading McCain by 2 to 10 points, depending upon the poll.
Yeh, sure.
Crap is not always flushed down the toilet.
But Obama leads among dead voters 20-1. The only demographic with a higher Obama vote are blacks.
Poll: McCain leads Obama By 3% in Michigan
