A new poll by Epic MRA on behalf of the Detroit Free Press and other news media outlets across the state shows that Donald Trump has cut into Hillary Clinton's lead in Michigan. 

Clinton still leads, but with 38% compared to Trump's 35%. 

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party presidential candidate, is also gaining ground with 10%.

Ken Sikkema? and Susan Demas? joined us today to talk about the tightening presidential race, the state Board of Education's new LGBTQ guidelines and Michigan's continued rebuff of Tesla Motors.
