Michigan: Movement on Today's Map
Posted Sep 24, 2008 at 12:11 PM by Maurice Berger
While PollTrack recently moved Michigan to "Leaning Democrat" on Today's Map, it left it "To Close To Call" on Tomorrow's Map. Why? Because the state may not behave like its neighbors in this cycle. The local Democratic party is doing poorly in the state--especially Govenor Jennifer Granholm--blamed for the local and especially harsh downturn in the economy. While the Democratic brand may be helping Obama right now in a number of states, it may be hurting him in Michigan, where his PT average lead just dropped below the 4% mark and a new Marketing Resource Group of Lansing poll shows McCain up by 3%--46% to 43%. Thus PollTrack moves the state back to "Too Close To Call" on Today's Map.
