MI: Stabenow leads Michigan poll; Granholm could face fight

Why does this article quote a 6-month-old EPIC/MRA poll? How useless.

Granholm could be in trouble, if the Michigan GOP can find a half-decent opponent, which they seem to be failing to do.

This poll is new, conducted from May 22-26 by EPIC/MRA.

Fwiw, EPIC/MRA seems to be the Michigan polling firm that leans too far to the left, whereas the Detroit News/Mitchell Research one leans too far to the right.

They do, however, quote a six-month-old EPIC/MRA poll at the end to reference Granholm's re-elect numbers. Six-month-old information isn't really useful.

EPIC/MRA isn't really that accurate in 2002 a few  days before the governor election they had granholm up by 9% she won by less the 4%  51-47.

What was the MoE? State races are hard to call. On state polls, I generally multiply the MoE by around 1.5 to find reasonable bounds.
