MI-07: Schauer Leads by 8 in New Poll

Benenson Strategy Group for the DCCC (10/6-7, likely voters):

Mark Schauer (D): 43
Tim Walberg (R-inc): 35
(MoE: ±4.9%)

Those numbers are basically a death sentence for an incumbent, and they're not far off at all from a recent Schauer internal poll showing Walberg trailing by 46-36. Obama leads McCain by 46-37 in this poll, which might be a bit optimistic for a district that supported Bush by 54-45 in 2004, but perhaps that's the byproduct of John McCain flipping his wrinkly middle finger at the entire state of Michigan in recent days.
