Pollster John Zogby: “Okay, so who needs interesting? Our final track, to be exact, in Michigan is McCain 27.1% to Romney’s 25.6% and Huckabee at 14.9%. Our call center made 553 calls just on Monday to get as close a read on this as late as we could. Monday alone stood at Romney 26.7% to McCain’s 26.3%. I looked at the calls that were made before 5:30 PM and two candidates were also tied – pretty much as they were after 5:30 PM. There just isn’t any momentum here.

“McCain stays strong with Indies and Democrats, while Romney’s lead among Republicans tightened – as did his lead in the Detroit metro area. Romney’s people are busy on the phones; McCain is campaigning heavily in his strongholds in the western part of the state, following some events in Detroit.

“We turned this into a two-day track by factoring Monday’s calls in with Sunday’s alone for a total of 824 likely voters.

“This looks to be a nail biter, unless something breaks Tuesday.”
