I am Seriously Worried We Might Lose Michigan [View all]

Back on October 3rd, we were ahead by 10 points but now the lead is cut to just 4 points in the averages. There has been some back and forth in Michigan during the election but we have also head a pretty good lead but now it is cut to its lowest point all year. Something is going very wrong for us in Michigan. Why the sudden drop off in a once solid blue state? Why do the republicans suddenly have so much appeal there? Can this really be happening?

I am seriously worried that Romney might actually take Michigan in a squeaker on election day.

Oh, I'm sorry, I accidently posted old poll averages from RCP from 2012 to make a point. Silly me.
