Poll: Hillary, Romney Lead In Michigan
By Greg Sargent - August 31, 2007, 12:57PM
A new Detroit News poll finds Hillary with a strong lead over Obama in Michigan -- a state that could conceivably assume more importance if it succeeds in moving up its primary, as its government is trying to do.
The survey finds that Hillary has 40%, followed by Barack Obama at 21% and John Edwards at 16%.
On the GOP side Mitt Romney's status as a native of Michigan has only given him the slimmest of leads over Rudy. He has 25% to Rudy's 23%, a lead that's within the poll's 4.9 point margin of error. Fred Thompson has 16%, while John McCain trails in fourth place with 15%.
**New Iowa, Michigan Polls Show Romney Leading
Why yes, I read that poll and noticed that you trimmed out the part that showed that a large % of the Romney support was from Democrats that said they were going to crossover to vote for him.
It also noted that the results of this poll were 180 deg from the poll last month that had Fred Thompson first and Romney in 4th place.
Why would I be unimpressed with this poll?
