Two new ads released for broadcast in Michigan Wednesday are hitting Mitt Romney for his opposition to auto-industry bailouts as well as his record on spending.

A sound bite of Romney stating, "Let Detroit go bankrupt," opens the latest ad from Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting President Obama.  The ad cites Romney’s record while he was in the private sector of profiting off investments in businesses which later failed.

Romney’s use of the phrase "bankrupt" echoes throughout the ad, as the super PAC hopes it will echo in the minds of voters come Election Day. A Quinnipiac poll, released Wednesday has the Republican presidential primary candidate trailing Obama by 2 points in a head-to-head matchup nationwide.

Michigan is where Romney grew up and the auto bailout affects thousands of people there. A NBC News/Marist poll out on Wednesday shows 63 percent of registered voters in the Great Lakes State back the government's decision to assist General Motors and Chrysler in the fall of 2008, when President George W. Bush was still in office. Forty-two percent of likely voters -- those who would vote in the GOP primary -- back the decision.

The NBC News/Marist poll also shows Obama getting much of the credit for the bailout from registered voters, 58 percent of whom say he gets a great deal or good amount of the props. Among likely voters, only 27 percent give him a great deal or good amount of the credit for the bailout. (read more)

The Obama reelection campaign on Monday announced a new "Truth Team," whose goal is to drum up support from online supporters and grassroots activists to help promote President Obama and challenge Republicans attacks.

This is the second move that the campaign has taken in recent weeks to try to balance influence of the so-called super PACS. Last week, Obama reversed a prior decision and told supporters to back an Obama-aligned super PAC run by former White House staffers. Previously, the president had decried the influence of the PACs.

Obama For America announced the move, which includes four new separate websites: BarackObama.com/TruthTeam, KeepingHisWord.com, KeepingGOPHonest.com and AttackWatch.com.

The reelection team is calling it a "new national effort by President Obama supporters online and on the ground to promote the president’s achievements, respond to attacks on his record and hold the eventual Republican nominee accountable."

The sites will include fact checks, online tools for social networking and videos and resources for activists.

The Truth Teams also happens to be launching in key battleground states like Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Arizona and Virginia.  A release from the campaign notes that unions, a core, energized and organized Democratic constituency, will take part. (read more)
