LANSING, MI -- Michigan's presidential vote has been true blue since 1992, but Republicans are hoping that Republican nominee Donald Trump can sway that in November.

"I'm on the ground all the time traveling the state and every day I run into voters who are so enthusiastic about Donald Trump, who have never voted Republican, who are changing parties just for him," said Michigan Republican Party Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel.

A polling average from Real Clear Politics shows Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's lead narrowing as the race progresses. In a head-to-head Clinton is leading by an average of 4.6 points. But as recently as late July and early August, polls routinely put her ahead by 10 percent.

And Trump is trying his hardest to narrow that gap even further. He's put a repeated emphasis on Michigan, and makes his fifth visit to Michigan since accepting the nomination on Friday....

How big of a lead did Hillary have over Bernie Sanders? Wasn’t it like 20+ & she lost to Bernie!

At the Trump rally in Novi Michigan, there was a guy walking around with a big “Trump Local UAW” sign.

Why would anyone have to change party to vote for Trump. We’re past the primaries, so what difference at this point does it make?

Vaguely remember, I think I saw it outside in the rain.

However go to 1:05 on this video and see Terry Bowman of Union Conservatives. He spells out what the rank and file is thinking / telling him...

I think that was in Cleveland. It was in Luke Easter Park on the East side at the Battle of the Bands where local High School Bands play and their is a picnic.

Most people came to see the bands.

Finally, I doubt Trump is silly enough to waste resources where they are already known to be fruitless.

Agree, that's the very best reason to believe Michigan is in play!

Ford just announced yet another big ($2 BILLION as I recall) factory in Mexico
(and Michigan also has a festering Moslem invasion problem)

I’ve said for the last year that the Black vote will NOT be anywhere near what it was for Obama in ‘08 and ‘12. Without that, she loses. I predict she will only get 70% (at best) of the Black vote Obama got.
