This was a Detroit Free Press-Local 4 Michigan Poll. Over the years, I have noticed that polls commissioned/conducted by local entities tend to be less accurate than polls conducted by the big nationally known pollsters. They also tend to fluctuate wildly.

I don't think McCain is going to carry Michigan...but I would not take this poll too seriously.

wrong. This poll was conducted by that renowed Iowa pollster(can’t recall her name) who nailed Iowa caucuses and MI primaries.

I’m afraid that Mccain will go with the coventional VP candidate which will sure doom his opportunity in Nov.

Choose Sarah Palin, please...

This was actually done by an independent pollster. She had the most accurate polls in the primaries, and is ranked #1 on 538.com. She uses a different model than other pollsters that predicts increased dem turnout, and sadly she was correct in most cases.

Hopefully the McCain campaign will write off MI, and as a result, write of Mittens as VP and pick someone who can actually help.
