Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, is favored in Michigan with 45 percent of the vote while John McCain earns 42 percent, according to the latest survey from Rasmussen Reports taken on Monday. Since John McCain scored the Republican nomination there have been four of these polls, all of which put the two candidates within three points of one another.

According to the current poll, 83 percent of Republicans support McCain and 74 percent of Democrats support Obama. In a previous survey, those numbers were 84 percent for McCain and 70 percent for Obama.

Obama is quickly closing the gap among Michigan’s unaffiliated voters: In May McCain had a 13 point lead among them and now he has a 5 point lead.

Male voters are warming up to Obama, too. Last month McCain was leading among that demographic by 19 percent, a number that has shrunk to 11 this month.

Obama is more popular among women. He leads by thirteen points and that number hasn’t changed much in the past four months, according to the survey.
