Democrats will pick up 3 congressional seats in MI. I'm certain of that. One reason is despite, GOP efforts towards redistricting, the biggest 2 black districts have lost population, and while one of those districts disappears, another more rural district goes too, which is a Republican one. One of those districts near Detroit will have a racial mix, and could hurt the Republican running there.

I think with the bailout and economic aid to MI, younger people are staying there rather than moving elsewhere, but the other group that has also left the state for Florida and other parts of the country are older people.

By the way, I never thought USA today/Gallup would be the new conservative leaning pollster?
