Detroit News/EPIC poll of Michigan: Obama 51 McCain 37

[WI_DEM]

(remember when the media used to tout Michigan as the blue state McCain was most likely to move?)

Barack Obama and other Democrats are poised for significant gains in Michigan, with a large lead in the presidential race and hints of an edge in contests farther down the ballot, the latest Detroit News-WXYZ Action News poll shows.

With less than two weeks until Election Day, Obama leads Republican presidential nominee John McCain by 14 points, 51 to 37 percent, according to the survey of likely Michigan voters by Lansing's EPIC-MRA polling firm. That's up slightly from a 10-point lead a month ago, and is the first time in The News/WXYZ 2008 polls that Obama has cracked 50 percent.

1. Early in the campaign MI was McCain's PA

He poured gobs of money into it after the primaries, then winds up pissing the entire state off by pulling out of it.

This is seriously the worst run campaign I have ever seen, and that is saying something after the boondoggle the Clinton team just threw out there this year (no disrespect to Hillary, but Penn et al really sucked).
