In reply to the discussion: Are people angry that UNCOMMITTED is getting votes in Michigan, or that cable news is reporting is? [View all]All Mixed Up
(597 posts)18. A lot will depend on Wayne County.
That's where Dearborn is and the heart of the 'Uncommitted' campaign. It's also the largest county in Michigan, so, it'll have an impact and it's not really reporting results at the moment.
But it does raise the question: what is and isn't a troubling sign?
In 2012, uncommitted came in at about 10.7% vs Obama.
Right now, uncommitted is doing about six-points better. That doesn't seem to be all that significant considering the hype around it.
But if Wayne County mirrors, say, Washtenaw, which is home to the University of Michigan, and uncommitted is at 24-25 points?
I think you start getting into that gray area.

I think if the numbers hold, uncommitted will have done little damage to Biden.
