Quinnipiac: Obama Leads By 6 In Michigan

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, McCain, Michigan, Polls, Republicans

Obama – 48%
McCain – 42%

The details…

Michigan women voters back Obama 52 – 38 percent, while men split with 46 percent for McCain and 45 percent for Obama.

White voters back McCain 48 – 42 percent, as black voters support Obama 89 – 6 percent.

The Democrat leads 57 – 36 percent among voters 18 to 34 and gets 48 percent of voters 35 to 54, to McCain’s 45 percent. Obama has a 45 – 42 percent edge among voters over 55.

Voters give Obama a 54 – 27 percent favorability, with 49 – 29 percent for McCain.

As I mentioned in the post about Quinnipiac’s Colorado poll, the following two findings are interesting…

First, Bush’s favorable/unfavorable ratings…
Favorable – 26%
Unfavorable – 67%

Then, support for staying in Iraq…
Keep Troops There – 52%
Withdraw – 41%

It seems the more a state dislikes Bush, the bigger the lead gets for Obama, even though they may not be in favor of his Iraq policy.

More as it develops…
