While it's only June, these poll results certainly are surprising. I fully expect Obama to win Michigan in November, but it looks like he might need to actually put some effort into winning the state.
Two words: auto rescue
Yeah, not many of those in Michigan. The point is that the auto rescue helped not just the auto rescue but the statewide economy.
While that will help him get the dwindling numbers of UAW members and retirees, it might hurt him among people who view unionized auto workers as lazy overpaid whiners.
There aren't many of these people in Michigan and those who do already vote Republican. The auto rescue helped the state's economy and will help Obama.
