Wasn't Michigan a base for isolationists for quite some time? During World War II, a big junk of people moved away from isolationism, including then Michigan resident Gerald Ford. The state was very close in 1940, so it was in play for FDR in 1944. He barely lost support from 1940 overall. Actually it surprises me he didn't do better than in 1940 nationally.
