When it comes to balancing the budget, lowering taxes and achieving American independence from foreign oil, Michigan voters have a healthy skepticism whether Barack Obama would fulfill his campaign promises in his first term.
But it hasn't cost him their support.
Obama leads Republican John McCain among Michiganders who say they are certain to vote, 53%-37%, with two days left in the campaign, according to The Detroit Free Press/Local 4 Michigan Poll.
Significant numbers of voters say Obama has won them over with his judgment and how he makes them feel about America's future.
And if voters are skeptical about Obama's ability to deliver on some promises, they share the same concerns about McCain -- while Obama continues to get a bump from supporters who think he'd be best able to address the nation's economic troubles.
He also gets high marks from his supporters as being likely to reform health care.
