MI: Rasmussen: McCain tied with Obama/Clinton

[Flying Dog]

This makes me feel better. Obama should win 52-48 or more.

Obama - 50% favorable, 47% unfavorable
Clinton - 49% favorable, 49% unfavorable

Wow, the delegate thing must be a HUGE issue there no doubt.

That's what I keep trying to tell people. The issue is being way overblown. Frankly, nobaody gives a crap, either way.

This poll also showed that we are in favor of medical pot.  Fine with me but Hmmmmmmm.

Where do you see that?

Using the last presidential election as a metric, Kerry by this time in 2004 always had a respectable 6 to sometimes even a 10 point lead over Bush, so the prognosis doesn’t look good (at this point, at least) for the Dems.  And yes, we’ve come to the time in the year where state-by-state polls do matter.   Face it:  McCain has the potential to actually snatch some blue states away from the Dems and if he can squeeze out a victory in Ohio, MI, or PA then the fat lady has sung.   All the crackheads in Detroit won’t be able to save Obambi in the Wolverine State come November.

Yeah that's your problem. This race is different from 04 in so many way's. Kerry did as bad as he did in Michigan due to generally low turnout in Detroit. It won't happen this time. Plus Oakland Co. has real potential for Obama. Also, as a general Michigan election rule, you almost need Oakland to win in Michigan.
