Could we be seeing a bounce for Schauer after ex-GOP Rep. Joe Schwarz endorsed him last week? It’s not the only bounce for a Democrat in this district: after McCain decided to flip the bird to the entire state of Michigan by withdrawing his campaign from the state, Obama has pulled ahead to a 50-39 lead over McCain here. Maybe that’s a bit optimistic, but there’s no denying that Walberg lost some pretty key infrastructure after McCain pulled out his ground game in Michigan.
The full polling memo is available below the fold.
UPDATE: The Politico reports that the NRCC is dropping $2.2 million in ads against Schauer and Steve Driehaus in OH-01. That’s a lot of scrilla — at that rate, they’ll only be able to make concentrated bursts in a relatively small number of districts, and still get outspent by the D-trip.
