STATE POLLING
New poll today from Michigan (Clinton +5).
Yep, that's it, just one state. And we're not really sure what to make of this poll, either. The polling firm, Marketing Resource Group, only rates a C+ from Nate Silver, with an 11% error margin and only a 17% success rate for calling elections. And even if their poll is right on the money, Michigan is still safely in the "Solid Democrat" column.
