MICHIGAN: (Obama +6, Stabenow +6) - MRG poll

[TroyD]

Did anyone see the ridiculous poll by Baydoun/Foster that came out a couple of days ago that showed Obama only +2 in Michigan? For some reason RCP considers it a credible pollster and enters it into the RCP average. It's supposedly a Democratic firm since RCP puts a (D) beside it, but it's numbers are bizarre.

Anyway, at least this MRG poll seems more normal since it at least has both Obama & Stabenow leading by 6 and will off-set the effect of the B/F poll.

9/10 - 9/15 (600 LV)

Obama - 48

Romney - 42
