Yes, I thought that was strange.

Those older demographics in Michigan reflect all the old obsolete Union thugs left over after they killed off the auto companies. Socialist thug OBama is right up their alley.

but isn’t it weird that McCain’s biggest support is in the young demographic and Obama’s in the older demographics????

Maybe the numbers in that first chart (the four age categories) got switched - that would make more sense than the Obambi leading in all age categories except the 18-35. Those are his peeps in the 18-35.

Looking at the breakout I think this poll is made up!

Young people aren’t known for voting. I wonder if the report is wrong relative to % for each age group.

The age breakdown table must be a screwup.

The hispanic vote is the big wild card in this race.

To be blunt, there is real racial animosity between hispanics and blacks. I’m not saying it is right or wrong, but it does exist.

Hillary’s huge hispanic support was as much an anti-Obama vote as anything.

The assumption is that those hispanic voters will stay democratic is suspect. Especially when you have McCain (the one republican that pushed the amnesty bill) on the republican ticket.

"Did I read that right, the youth is going to McCain 50 to 38 or so."

Yeah, but to McCain, "youth" is anyone under 60!
LOL!

These polls are like a train wreck......I can’t help but look although I know Nov 4th is the day we’ll know.

“I just can’t see it.”

I can...
A lot of blacks are getting turned off by the “prophet” business with Obama, and think he is taking them for granted...

If just a FEW don’t vote for Obama, or do not show up, he’s finished...

Just 8 years ago 90% of African Americans voted in Detroit ~ highest turnout in America.

At the same time most polls were only lightly visited.

Vote fraud not only happens in Michigan, it's a way of life there.

A poll, on the other hand, is based on population estimates, not phoney registrations.

I am thinking the black voters that may be going toward McCain probably have religious or personal views against abortion.

That is the only thing that would make sense to me at this point.

Hispanics in Michigan are stronger supporters of McCain than are whites?

It’s not the size of the black vote but the percentage. If only 4 blacks lived in Mich and 3 voted for Obama the percentage is still 25% for McCain. With the black vote breaking 90% Obama everwhere else I have to agree with other posters that this poll looks wrong.

Not a “major” pollster, IIRC, but still, it shows a trend.

If I had to guess today, McCain will win Michigan by a point in November.

This poll doesn’t seem very accurate . . McCain is only getting 33 percent of the female vote?

I wouldn’t trust this.
