DETROIT - A new poll of likely Michigan voters shows Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama in a tight race.

The poll for The Detroit News and WXYZ-TV found 44 percent saying they'd back McCain in a hypothetical presidential election. Forty percent backed Obama.

EPIC-MRA telephoned 600 people May 19-22. The poll's margin of sampling error is 4 percentage points up or down.

An April 3-8 EPIC-MRA poll of 600 likely Michigan voters found 43 percent for Obama and 41 percent for McCain.

The new poll found Hillary Clinton helping Obama as his vice presidential candidate when matched against McCain with ex-rival Mitt Romney as vice presidential candidate. Fifty-one percent said they'd back Obama-Clinton to 44 percent for McCain-Romney.
