We Ask America Poll: Obama 52% Mittens 40% in Michigan

Michigan
It wasn’t that long ago that many respected prognosticators said that Michigan was in play. Mitt Romney did his best to lay claim to being a favorite son, and the early numbers indicated that he may have a chance to keep the state competitive. Today, that simply does not appear to be the case. President Obama has spent his time wisely in this state that was in huge trouble when the economic bubble burst. Whether or not you agree with the automotive industry bailout that was directed mostly at General Motors, those whose jobs were tied to the situation were paying attention. And they seem to be showing it in our latest results:

Poll type: Automated Date: Sept. 25-27, 2012 - Participants: 1,064 Likely Voters - Margin of Error: ± 3.1%
PRESIDENT Barack Obama Mitt Romney Gary Johnson Undecided
ALL VOTERS 52.0% 39.9% 1.1% 7.0%
GOP ONLY 14.3% 81.2% 0.3% 4.2%
DEM ONLY 89.0% 6.0% 0.5% 4.5%
IND ONLY 42.7% 42.7% 2.5% 12.1%

Seeing that this is a GOP leaning poll, Michigan is certainly not a swing state. Dawson Leery Oct 2012 #4

I find it hard to believe even 10% would back him after his attempts to destroy the auto industry.

GObama!

Obama should take 55%+ of the vote in Michigan.
