This WeAskAmerica poll is the third MI poll released over the past few weeks where Romney and Obama have been in a statistical tie (and this is the second where Romney has actually been slightly ahead). No Republican has won MI in a presidential election since 1988.
They also did polling in IA and found Obama up by 1 - a statistical tie. A Republican has won IA in a presidential election only one time since 1984.
Romney told Michigan yesterday that if he wins the state he will guarantee a win in the electoral college. A lot of people here are fired up to remove the least transparent president.

I think at some point this campaign will devote resources over the whiter, older, midwest, and concede the intermontaine west states to the Democrats. That means Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, at the expense of New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado.

I think Obama will lose Iowa the demographics and his immigration position will hurt him there.
I say it's finally a two man race and people are just now beginning to pay attention.
