Bringing the Election Battle to Michigan

WWMT Newschannel 3

Michigan is playing an increasingly important role in the November election. One of the latest polls out shows Michigan, a key battle ground state, is up for grabs. Senator Barack Obama currently has a narrow 3-point lead over Senator John McCain among voters in our state.

The Obama campaign is trying to turn up the heat here in West Michigan. Saturday the campaign officially opened four regional offices in Grand rapids, Muskegon Heights, Battle Creek and Holland.

The McCain campaign believes it has a shot to carry Michigan as well.

The campaigns have been running nonstop for over a year now. But over the weekend both parties decided to step things up a notch and proving that Michigan will be an important state to win.
