Race Summary

Though Michigan could be up for grabs in the presidential race come November, an incumbent Senator as entrenched as Carl Levin is not likely to be defeated in what should be a strong year for Democrats.

Levin, a five-term incumbent and chairman of the Armed Services committee, is heavily favored to retain his seat.
