DETROIT, May 29 (UPI) -- Republican presidential hopeful John McCain could break Democrats' long-standing hold on Michigan, a poll indicates.
For 16 years, Michigan has supported the Democratic presidential nominee, The Detroit News reported Thursday.
WXYZ-Action News poll shows McCain leading in the Wolverine State by four points. He leads Democrat Barack Obama 44 percent to 40 percent.
The poll showed if Obama taps Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as his running mate he could beat McCain if the Arizona's running mate is former rival Mitt Romney.
In a hypothetical matchup between Obama and Clinton versus McCain and Romney, the Democratic duo would win 51 percent to 44 percent, the newspaper reported.
The poll of 600 likely Michigan voters was conducted May 19-22. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
