Two new general election polls out in Michigan show John McCain with an ever so slight lead over Obama:

EPIC/MRA (May 19-22)
McCain 44
Obama 40

SurveyUSA (May 27)
McCain 41
Obama 37

Overall, McCain leads by 3.0% in the RCP Average for Michigan.

Post Script: If you haven't read Bob Beckel's piece today outlining why he thinks it'll be an Obama blowout in November, click here. Included in Bob's piece is this graf on why he thinks Michigan is a lock for Obama:

The most devastated economic state in the Bush years is a McCain target? Let me get off the floor and stop laughing. Michigan has 1.4 million blacks with 300,000 yet to be (but will be) registered. It has one of the largest populations of college students in the country, and 150,000 new voters will turn 18 by Election Day. Any bets how they will vote?

Michigan is highly unionized in a year where unions will spend more and be more active for Democrats than at any time since the halcyon days of the 1950s. "Uncommitted" in the Democratic primary almost beat McCain's total vote - and that's when no Democrat campaigned in the state.

The truth is that McCain has very little chance of winning Michigan.

Agree or disagree?
