Three years ago, Obama won blue-collar Macomb with 53% of the vote to Republican John McCain's 48%. At this point, a Free Press poll conducted last week by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA shows all three of the top Republican contenders -- Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain -- with a lead on Obama in the county.
The poll's sample of 600 likely voters statewide includes only a sliver from Macomb County, meaning any results there come with a whopping 14-percentage-point margin of error. But even controlling for that, the Republican contenders still lead the president. Romney, who grew up in Bloomfield Hills, would still lead by at least 20 points.
