1. Polls are a snapshot in time at best.
2. They are less and less accurate nowadays since surveys are harder to conduct.
3. I also remember the 1998 elections where a pro-choicer ran 10% behind Bush(2004 numbers) and 20% behind John Engler in her home county. Engler was on top of the ticket that year. It was a congressional swing district and a disaster in an otherwise top year for us. We did get the seat in 2000(Mike Rogers, pro-life).

Dismiss us prolifers at your own peril - and I was one of those who did vote for the pro-choicer in 98 because of Stabenow. Others, such as my mom are not so forgiving, and I'm a lot less forgiving on that issue now than I used to be.

Dan your vote really isn't in play in a general election, since the Dem will almost always be more pro abortion than the Pubbie, certainly in a presidential race, and given the other issues in play, your ballot is a given. It is cross conflicted voters that matter on this issue, not you.
