LANSING, MI - President Barack Obama is slightly leading challenger Mitt Romney in the latest poll of likely Michigan voters.
The Marketing Resource Group poll of 600 likely voters, conducted Sept. 10 through Friday and given to MLive, showed the Democratic incumbent and Vice President Joe Biden with 47.5 percent and his Republican rival and running mate Paul Ryan with 42.3 percent. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points, meaning Obama had a slight edge.
Eight percent were undecided.

I think it is pretty good based on 2010 results. I can not find any data to confirm it. The independent sample seems a little high but who knows. The election will turn on participation. I always pray for heavy rain in metro Detroit.

Sorry about the double post.
what’s the breakdown on Independents?? anyone know??
How much of that is Romney spending? I don’t understand why Missouri would be a problem, by the way. It’s not like Romney and the rest of the GOP elites trashed the GOP candidate or anything.
The top line, $2.3 m. The post was to answer a question, part of a thread.
With regard to the trashing, it’s visa versa as well. Loo-Loo Achin’ is claiming the GOP establishment is raping her husband. Good thing that a politician’s body normally shuts down in such instances. It’s very rare that political rape results in pregnancy. First, we had Romney and others seeking to save their skin from Achin’, and now we have Achin’ taking down the whole ticket in return.
I could not find a split in the poll documents, just this form the article.:
Among self-described independents, Obama was leading 45 percent to 38 percent, with 16 percent undecided.
King said more independents are undecided than in the spring poll, meaning Obama has yet to close the deal with that all-important group, leaving the door open for Romney.
“That is a group that has been shifting back and forth throughout this campaign. The issue of unemployment and the economy is overshadowing everything,” he said, arguing that some independents are not sold that Obama can turn around the economy.
I’m in MI and have probably hung up on 20 poll calls. They have all been robo calls. No time and I already know how I am voting.
Thanks Kabar!
Well then, it looks as if every poll has independents going for Romney. Yet the polls, except Ras, have Obama winning.
Just repeating what I saw...don't know if it's true.
MI would be a red state if it were not for the tricounty area around the D. UGHHHHH makes me so mad!
Rove's a dipstick when it comes to Michigan anyway. He always has been.
