This is the fourth MI poll released in the past few weeks showing a statistical tie between Romney and Obama.

*covers ears* no way, Obama will win by a bigger margin than the 16.5% that he won in 2008! Hope and Change! YES WE CAN!

Hardcore Obama supporters are clueless. He will probably win MI, and may manage to win the election, but if he does - it'll be a squeaker, far from a landslide. One of the ones on this forum actually told me that he/she thought Obama was going to get 60% of the vote (nationally) - and he/she was clearly not joking!

Speaking of MI specifically - I think it's amusing that they don't understand the difference between Chapter 11 and Chapter 7. I also think it's amusing that they don't realize that GM and Chrysler DID actually end up going through Chapter 11.

Yes. I know someone who supports Obama in part because he would "never" let any big corporation like GM go through bankruptcy.

Swing state folks are getting all the election commercials. They are so fun to watch from both sides. I love how they do the blury photos and black and white videos and show frowns on their opponent. Seems many of the commercials are negative, as in most elections these days. It will just get better as time goes on with these entertaining commercials. But only in the swing states.

I don't think the other states are getting any presidential election commercials unless folks are on the border of a swing state and get commercials from the swing stake market.

These are much better than super bowl commercials.

If MI is in play, then it's likely OH, VA, IA and FL will be red this year.

This is great news for Mitt.

Even if that were true, Romney still has a LONG way to go to catch up to Obama's lead, which is already twice as close to the magic "270" to win (and that's according to RealClear, which is both conservative-leaning AND uses aggregate methodology)!

The other polls haven't been good for Romney. Quinnipiac has the president up by four points, and it seems like Romney campaign had previously invested more there.
