The more reliable Rasmussen polling in Michigan (dated 7.24.12) has it Obama 48% to Romney 42%:

What to believe? I tend to believe Rasmussen, good or bad. Regardless, either poll shows Michigan potentially in play, if you buy the argument that the majority of undecided/other candidate voters will break Romney.

I always rely on the Rasmussen poll too. I also look at the undecideds (4%) which will mostly break for the challenger and the (5%) who prefer another candidate (that’s the answer I gave when I was polled)

So I won’t be surprised if Michigan really is in play.

I don’t know anything about this source or its polls population and I have more trust in Ras than in any of the polling outfits but that Michigan poll just does not pass the smell test.

Michigan has just voted in a Republican legislature and governor and nothing The Disaster has done has helped it very much.

In addition, the corruption of the Democrats has just been rubbed, once again, in the voters faces.

It appears to me that The Disaster will have a VERY difficult time winning Michigan.

I don't buy this poll, but I'm encouraged Rasmussen has 0bama under 50%. It would be a tall order for Mitt to win Michigan.

Not an argument; it’s a historical fact. The undecideds break for the challenger 80 percent in every Election.
