.7% short of 50% considering the timing of the poll? Gotta be happy with that. Anyone got anything to say about the pollster?

No.  The EPIC-MRA poll was done for the Detroit Free Press.  This FMW poll was conducted for Fox 2 Detroit.

I changed the link to provide for the full poll release.  There are no cross-tabs.  The party ID was D+10.07.  FMW had to weight for lower poll participation among men, African Americans, 18-30s and 31-50s.

Well, these are two mediocre polls, but they are saying the same thing.

Considering this poll was entirely taken on Friday, the single worst day for Obama in the campaign so far, I'd say he's pretty safe in Michigan.

The funny thing is those percentages don't correspond to any fraction with 1122 in the denominator.
