President Bush and his Democratic rival, U.S. Sen. John Kerry, remain locked in a close race in Michigan, a new poll shows.

Forty-seven percent of the 600 likely Michigan voters polled by Lansing-based EPIC/MRA said they'd vote for Kerry if the election was held today, while 45 percent backed Bush, with 8 percent undecided. The numbers are identical to a late March poll conducted by EPIC/MRA.

With independent Ralph Nader in the race, Kerry was supported by 45 percent, Bush by 43 percent, with 3 percent going to Nader and 9 percent undecided.

The latest survey, released Tuesday, was conducted last Wednesday through Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
