New Poll: Poll shows tie race in Michigan: Obama's base more excited

Who would have thought that the polls from Ohio would be better than Michigan?

ARBOR, MI - President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are tied in Michigan, a new poll shows, with the Republican challenger faring better among independents and the Democratic incumbent sparking more excitement in his base.

Each candidate garnered 40 percent in the statewide survey of 600 likely voters conducted June 14-15 by public relations firm Lambert, Edwards & Associates and polling company Denno Research. Twenty percent were undecided.

Eighty-seven percent of Republicans said they would vote for Romney and 85 percent of Democrats said they would vote for Obama. But just 56 percent of Republicans were excited to vote for Romney while 75 percent of Democrats were excited to vote for Obama.

- Female voters were evenly divided, with 40 percent favoring Romney and 40 percent favoring Obama.

"If there's a War on Women going on in Michigan, someone forgot to tell female voters," said pollster Dennis Denno, president of Denno Research and chief of staff for a Democratic state senator.
