Michigan: Obama 48% Romney 42% (but zotting trolls is as popular as ever)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 7-24-2012 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 07/24/2012 12:34:50 PM PDT by raulgomez05

Michigan voters think the economy is in rough shape, but President Obama continues to lead Mitt Romney in that state.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Michigan Voters shows Obama with 48% support to Romney’s 42%. Five percent (5%) favor some other candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 500 Likely Voters in Michigan was conducted on July 23, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

We shall see. I pray that your opinion is the truth and that would point to America waking up from a long, long nap. We shall see. Either way... it is a shame that we do not have a Conservative Warrior to seize the day.

Yes we will. I pray that you are correct. It would be an indicator for hope in America.

Burn baby burn! (Disco Inferno)

Bambi won with 57.4% in 2008, he is only garnering 48% now. Sure the folks claiming to not like either candidate or the undecided might yet vote Bambi to get him to 50%.

But a 7% drop is not a good sign for States that Bambi won by a slimmer margin of which there are a lot. Especially States that aren't as Union enslaved.

“The truth is that too many of you actually believe that this election is going to be a blowout... it will be razor thin and it is razor thin at this time.”

Good call.

I made some comments about this in another thread yesterday:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2909469/posts?page=46#46

One doesn’t need to be a pessimist to comprehend that Romney has an uphill fight to win Michigan, which has become a “reliable blue” state.

If Obama is truly at about 48% to Romney’s 45%, that leaves 7% between them. Assuming the “undecided” 7% breaks 2-to-1 for Romney, that gives Obama an additional 2.3%.

Perhaps something yet, an “unknown unknown” (to borrow a phrase from Donald Rumsfeld) will shake up the electorate and re-roll the dice. But unless that happens, it looks like Mr. Romney may “get close” in Michigan, but miss the cigar...

We’d like you to take a quick poll.
1) Are you a registered voter?

2) In which body part of yours does Obama cause a tingle?

3) Tingle this:

My trigger finger

Yeah, Union zombies. We just give up trying to talk politics with them (friends and family).

Get SOOOO ticked with the implication that NOT voting for Obama means there is racism involved. Why should I want a commie in charge for another four years? How ‘bout racism being involved when Detroit doesn’t vote for Romney (or other pale candidates)?

Three-quarters of the state probably gets a government check.

The same could be said for New Jersey.

I think that romney will lose the general election if they coronate him in Tampa. In a year that should be a blowout for the gop... we have boehner refusing to play tough with obamacare funding and he pledged yesterday to fully fund EVERYTHING in the budget... we have cornhole cornyn demanding that the base accept amnesty and gay marriage in the spirit of the big tent... you know... the gay colored rainbow one that the gop now calls its home... and we have the absolute worst candidate to be nominated in my lifetime... and THAT is why this election will be razor thin... and it will be... either way it goes. It did not have to be this way... but that is today's gop to a “T”.
