Right in line with 4 other Michigan polls from no-name and junk pollsters.
Fixed.

Wow, grasping for straws and manipulating other peoples words. Impressive.

If Rasmussen has Obama up by 6, that says a lot. I don't really trust any of the other pollsters.

So let me make sure I understand. When Rasmussen has a Republican up in a poll, they're full of it, trolls, junk poll. But when they have a Democrat up, that's "saying a lot."?

You just answered your own question. Rassy tends to be pretty Republican leaning, so yes it does say a lot when they tend to show better results for the Democrats than the mean.

I guess my point is either Rasmussen's polls are crap and they don't say a lot, or they're not crap and their results "say a lot." And Rasmussen is not quite as Republican leaning as you seem to think: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/22/calculating-house-effects-of-polling-firms/

I sincerely hope that Romney doesn't buy into this narrative that Michigan is up for grabs. He'll need to be laser focused on NC, VA, FL, and OH to have any chance of winning this election.

That still only gives Romney 255 electoral votes to Obama's 283. Throw in Indiana and it's still Romney 266, Obama 272. He has to win somewhere else. Is Michigan the most likely place for him to do it? No. But polling pre-VP and pre-convention has been strong there, and Romney needs to compete for more than just 266 electoral votes.

Look, of the polls he was referring to, three of them are by no-name pollsters.
The other is from We Ask America, which has demonstrated itself to be full of [Inks] time and again.
This is fairly obvious.


NBC Marist also had this as a 4 point race. But I like your utter lack of logical thinking in excusing PPP's consistent junk polling.
I never mentioned PPP.
And four points is not exactly a toss-up.
But then,
You have to realize that these liberals conservatives create numbers and their head put words in other people's mouths and scream about any poll that doesn't match those numbers. the results being illogical.

You're the only person I've seen actually take the time to put someone's words in quote format and then go in and alter them. Ironic that you accuse others of doing something you proudly and publicly do yourself.
