Most of the movement in the last month has been among white voters and Republicans. In June PPP showed Obama earning 19% of the GOP vote but that is now down to 9%. McCain has a turned a small disadvantage with white voters into a 50-40 lead.The race in Michigan could come down to who earns the votes of independents. While only 8% of Democrats and 4% of Republicans are undecided, 20% of those who don’t identify with either party are.
“Michigan is going to be a vital state this fall,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “If Barack Obama doesn’t win here, he’ll probably have to win three or four states that went Republican the last time around. If John McCain can’t take the state then he won’t be able to afford to lose more than one state that George W. Bush won in 2004. The candidates don’t have a lot of room for error in Michigan.”
