Whoa. Mittens might really win The Mitten. If he’s “tied” in MI no way he’s only “tied” in Ohio.

Excellent if true.

Dirty little secret of all pollsters. Sensible people can’t be bothered to be interrogated by strangers on the phone.

If this is accurate it’s looking like a Romney landslide. I’m going to have some popcorn Election Night to watch Chrissy Matthews getting a thrill up his leg.

If it is true that he is tied in Michigan, then Romney is most certainly winning in Ohio.

After that, there’s only about a 10% or less participation rate.

Unless my math is failing on me, that's a 3% participation rate.

up here in the UP of Michigan, I know for sure Obama is not doing well. Obama is only doing great wherever there is four year college - Marquette (NMU), Houghton/Hancock (MTU) and Sault STe Marie (LSSU). I for one have a sign posted in my yard FLUSH OBAMA right next to a Toilet.

It was Obama over McCain 57-41 in 2008.

35000 calls were made to get 1122 participants? That seems like a lot of calls for such a low participation rate.

And that is why the polls are now rubbish: with response rates that low, the conclusions are unstable and liable to be biased (though you can't tell how) due to some systematic cause for non-response. You can't publish a paper based on a survey in any reputable journal in the social or behavioral sciences with a response rate of under 30%.

Of course, it may be that 35K represents the number of digit strings dialed, and that a lot of them were not phone numbers assigned to any users, in which case we don't really know anything about the response rate other than that it was greater than the 3.2% it would have been had all the numbers dialed been valid phone numbers.

Undecided 4.23%

Just freakin' unbelievable. Are these folk living in the woods like the uni-bomber, completely removed from society?

I wouldn't be one bit surprised to see Michigan go for Romney - 51 to 48.

Take a look at the electoral map here.

Yeah, I know, it's probably highly wishful thinking - but, WHAT IF?

While interesting....especially that it’s a MICHIGAN pollster polling Michigan....I find this interesting.

The actual response rate for the entire survey was less than 4 percent. 4 percent.......!!!!!

Wow.
