Poll Finds Palin Popular in Michigan
A new PPP poll taken over the weekend shows Barack Obama clinging to a statistically insignificant 1-point lead over John McCain in Michigan.
The poll finds:
The selection of Sarah Palin as the Republican Vice
Presidential candidate appears to be a hit with Michigan voters.
45% of respondents say they are more likely to vote for McCain
because of his running mate selection, while just 30% say Joe Biden
joining the Democratic ticket makes them more likely to vote for
Barack Obama.
In the previous PPP poll taken in July, Obama led by 3 points, so
this isn't a huge move. But still, it's good news for McCain in a
state with 17 electoral votes that went for Kerry and Gore.
