Obama up +7 in Michigan

Fivethirtyeight considers this a "gold standard" poll, in that, they have been very accurate in previous polls.

Obama has 7-point lead on McCain in Michigan | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press

31% said they could change their vote and 12% undecided.

If McCain gets 50% of Obama support to change and 50% of undecided he still loses.

More importantly, it shows there's no Kwame effect.

I have no doubt McCain will carry Michigan, The last time Michigan was in this bad of shape the DEM got crushed. Granted it was Carter, but still if you think the Blue Dog DEMS in Macomb County are voting for Obama, you are nuts. Kwame's problems will lower turnout in Detroit, sets up perfect for McCain.

Especially if the GOP spreads some walking around money throughout The D.

Congratulations on the dumbest comment of the day award.

Black people will over run their polling stations. Watch. This is Obama not Carter, but keep telling yourself that w/ McCain were okay and w/ Obama were hosed.

The blue dogs dems in Macomb County haven't voted for a Democrat since Carter.

McCain only wins Michigan if there's a national landslide. The reality is that Michigan is an uphill fight for McCain and he doesn't need Michigan to win, so he'll spend his time and money elsewhere.

Brilliant. Just the kind of "change" America needs. Remember, the Dummy drives.

I will bet you $100 that you can't name the Levin who twice LOST races for Governor.
