PPP Michigan -- blowout in the works: Obama 54, Rmoney 38.

[blacken700]

Michigan is looking more and more like it won't be in the swing state column this fall. PPP's newest poll there finds Barack Obama leading the entire Republican field by double digits.

The biggest surprise in the numbers might be how badly Obama is beating Mitt Romney- he leads him by 16 points at 54-38. That's a major departure from PPP's previous 3 Michigan President polls, which found Obama ahead by only 4-7 points. Romney's seen a major decline in his personal favorability in the state over the last 6 months from 39/43 to now 29/58. His numbers have dropped across the board but the most striking shift is with independents. He's gone from a +14 spread with them at 48/34 to a -20 one at 32/52.

Old news - Obama's approval rating in Michigan is 54%. He's successfully followed the FDR electoral strategy of buying votes in key states.

What I find interesting is that Mitt only gets 38% - that leaves 8% that a third party could pick up.
