New Michigan Poll has Romney ahead of Obama (47 to 43%)

WJBK Fox 2 -

Foster McCollum White Baydoun (FMW)B, a national public opinion polling and voter analytics consulting firm based in Michigan and representing the combined resources of Foster McCollum White & Associates (Troy, Michigan) and Baydoun Consulting (Dearborn, Michigan) conducted a telephone-automated polling random survey of Michigan registered and most likely November 2012 general election voters to determine their voting preferences.

In what will be a significant blow to Democratic campaign efforts, native son Mitt Romney has climbed into the lead in Michigan's Presidential contest. The naming of Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan has delivered a targeted affect on the Michigan and Midwest campaign dynamics. We ballot tested the Presidential candidates and we also tested the following two areas of initial campaign impact and awareness:

Congressman Ryan's impact on voters' decision to vote for Mitt Romney. Congressman Ryan's controversial 2012 fiscal budget plan and voters support or opposition to the plan. It is our conclusion that the results to these questions will help initially either validate Ryan's selection or provide messaging for Democrats that Ryan is not acceptable to the voters. As our data outlines, currently Romney and Ryan are received positively enough to help vault Romney into the lead. Our aggregate findings for this section are as follows:

State-wide Aggregate Results (Weighted to projected age, gender & ethnicity of electorate, percentages do not all equal 100%) – 1733 Respondents MOE +/- 2.35%

Question 1:

The 2012 United States Presidential election will be held on November 6, 2012. Who are you more likely to vote for in the election??

(Barack Obama): 43.88%

(Mitt Romney): 47.68%

(Another candidate): 3.96%

(Undecided): 4.01%

Wow. So now you support an utter idiot who thinks women can't get pregnant if they "will it?" Do you seriously realize that it means about his view of rape---that it "really isn't that bad?"

This guy isn't a "conservative"---he's a Dem plant from the outset to ensure we lose this race.

And, in case you didn't notice, Santorum endorsed Romney. And in case you didn't notice, PALIN endorsed Steelman, not Akin.

I do not care about political parties today. The political parties, both the Dems and Repugs, are controlled by BIG Money. Total currupt hacks control Washington absolutely.

The hacks are owned totally by BIG Money and they do NOT care about you or children or your grandchildren. They do not care about America:

The Selling of the Presidency: Politics in the Age of Television !

IMHPO -- this video should have been made in 2002. It is long overdue. Both political parties are corrupt to the bone

It seems that every cycle we get polls that show the GOP doing well in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Then the GOP spends time and money on them, only to lose by 5 - 7 %

Say it with me: V-O-T-E-R F-R-A-U-D.

That's why all the usual suspects are filing lawsuits to prevent implementation of voter photo ID laws - to keep the 'Rat fraud machine going. If the PA law stands, there's good chance that won't happen here this time.

Now, if we can just get morons like Aiken to STFU and stop trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory ...

Aiken is embarrassingly stupid. Republicans are pretty stupid in general (hence the name The Stupid Party) but Aiken takes it up several notches. No wonder McCaskle wanted to run against him. Only he could give her a victory.

I’ve noticed that trend going back to 2000, at least, and mainly for PA and WA. I recall in ‘04 that Zog and Ras both had WA in “leans Republican” for a couple of months. It makes you wonder.

No kidding. Now I know why Romney tossed that idiot under the bus. I would not want him screwing things up for me either.

"The best news in recent polling is Romney doing well in these traditionally blue states."

It's happening. It is really happening. Ryan has brought the Rust Belt truly into play.

Yep. The more BHO and the DNC have to spend on advertising in transnational blue states to keep them blue, the less they have to spend in swing states. If you start seeing Obama ads in New England, Michigan, PA, etc. you know hi sin in real trouble.

I'm not saying the political parties are "the same." I'm saying. "They are both corrupt to the bone,"

Dems are controlled by "hard core Marxists" as Ronald Reagan said to me personally many years ago when I met him in Sacramento, California. Repugs are owned by the Iluminati. Dems are owned by the Marxists.

You choose between them at you own peril . . .

"Every nickel of funding for the Akin campaign should be redirected to the Hoekstra effort to unseat Debbie Stabenow."

I'm down with that. Also believe Steelman should be supported to try a Murkowski in Mizzou.

"All produced the same belly-aching from the usual suspects until it petered out after one week."

You can't drive around the bedwetters and the hangwringers even here sometimes. Some people live for that sh!t. Only thing you can do is get into a thread within the first 10 posts, lay out the facts, and set the tone.

You should be more worried about the corruption of the American People without that as a background party corruption would not be an issue.

The GOP is controlled by the Illuminati? Why don’t you elaboration on that claim.
