Though very slightly, Michigan's Upper Peninsula did trend toward the Dems last cycle, 56% Trump / 38% Clinton in 2016 to 57% Trump / 40% Biden. Most of the gain is on the back of it's most populous county: Marquette. 
BTW, turnout was up 14%, here, which is impressive when you consider that the region is bleeding pop. on net. If the state had interest in economically jolting Marquette awake, things up there wouldn't be quite so bad, politically, from a Dem perspective.
A group including Richard Whitmer - the current governor's father - sought to allow for expanded stem cell research on donated embryos, and got a constitutional amend. on the ballot in 2008. It passed 53% - 47%. Support was strongest in Washtenaw and weakest in Missaukee.
Billionaire Matty Moroun got an anti-tax amendment on the ballot in 2012 as payback for Snyder thwarting his plans to stop a public bridge project. It'd have required 2/3 vote by the leg. to raise taxes or a public vote. Michiganders saw through it, and rejected it 69% to 31%.
