So help me out a little bit here....Michigan is normally a blue state.
Is Trump catching up very odd?
MI demographics:
80% White
14% AA
3.3% Hispanic
Small latino population.
Could see MI easily going Trump.

Yes. Currently has a Republican governor. Large swaths of post-industrial demographics somewhat similar to OH and PA.
Detroit used to be a successful vote-fraud factory, as other corrupt Dem cities, but its corrupt power has diminished as the population has cratered.

I we are seeing a historic realignment, where white blue collar workers, historically kept on the Dem plantation by their unions, are recognizing that current trends have their jobs all being gone soon. They will go Trump.
Check out Michael Moore (of all people) explaining why people are going to go Trump:

Michigan is a purple state but it depends on how you color it.
MI has a conservative, republican backed State Supreme Court.
MI has a republican Governor.
MI has a republican Lieutenant Governor.
MI has a republican State Senate.
MI has a republican House of Representatives.
MI has a republican Attorney General.
MI has a republican Secretary of State.
MI has a republican congressional margin by a 2:1 ratio.
That big blue dot ghetto known as Detroit has enough people to throw the state in federal elections, the usual turn out to support their redistribution benefits and vote the state GOP to run the place.
But Detroit is not the power it used to be, and if Trump wins Michigan is one of the reddest states in the country.
