Latest Michigan poll shows Barack Obama giving Mitt Romney a 'Cranbrook haircut'

Anyway, President Obama is leading Mitt Romney 45.1% to 39.5% in Michigan, according to a new poll commissioned by the Detroit News and WDIV.

Republican strategist Saul Anuzis says the poll is actually a win for Romney because Obama isn't leading by enough to count as a lead. Meanwhile, Michigan Democratic Chairman Mark Brewer, wearing a velvet jacket in a darkened room with Marvin Gaye playing softly in the background, says the ladies are responding to the Democrats' lets just talk about our feelings and cuddle strategy to win over women voters.
