mlive.com: NewsFlash - Poll: Granholm leads DeVos in Michigan governor's race
Looks like the Detroit News made a "convenient" typo in the story I posted yesterday. As of this morning they haven't corrected it. Not surprising though- I've found the News to be more biased to the right than the GR Press- and that's saying something.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - With about nine months before voters go to the polls, Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm continues to lead likely challenger Republican Dick DeVos, according to a recent poll.

The poll conducted by Lansing-based EPIC/MRA showed Granholm with 53 percent, DeVos with 36 percent and 11 percent undecided, pollster Ed Sarpolus said Sunday. The survey of 600 likely Michigan voters was conducted Jan. 15-25 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Ten point error, no mention of the "undecideds". Pretty sloppy reporting- from now on I'd better verify their numbers with other sources.
