Broader CNN polling also spotlights a closely watched Michigan contest and underscores how economic concerns and views of President Trump shape voter preferences in both states as Democrats push to expand their Senate majority.

Chris Dalton Michigan looks just as tight and the economy could flip it either way depending on how people feel about jobs right now.
