The race is closer in Michigan, with some Democrats slightly ahead, others in a virtual tie. All three states voted for Trump by less than 1% in 2016; their 46 combined electoral votes propelling the president to victory. It was the first time in a generation any of these states had voted for the Republican nominee in a presidential election.
