Ref's Electoral Projection: Obama takes Michigan from McCain, McCain picks up Missouri
ALTERNATE REALITIES: McCain camp pushes back on LA Times/ Bloomberg poll - The LA Times admitted they oversampled Democrats by a large margin. At the same time Gallup has the race tied, Newsweek, which was the only poll to have Mondale defeating Reagan in 1984 who won 49 states, and the LA Times, have Obama up by double digits. The Ref will report two averages, one including such outliers and one without.

Unlike Newsweek, LA Times points out their poll's flaws: Obama holds 12-point lead over McCain, poll finds - The LA Times story fairly pointed out that their results differ substantially from most poll results and also pointed out that they oversampled Democrats in this poll. They pointed out that in this poll 39% of those polled were Democrats as opposed to only 23% who identified themselves as Republicans. This percentage distribution will not be duplicated in the general election.
