President Obama flips the polls in Michigan opening a 6-point lead in the latest EPIC-MRA poll. In early June EPIC-MRA poll Romney led by +1 but momentum is with the Obama campaign in Michigan today:
In the presidential race, Lansing-based EPIC-MRA released a poll of 600 likely voters on Tuesday showing the Democrat, Obama, leading presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney 48%-42%. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points for the survey, which was conducted July 24-31.
Last week, a Mitchell Research poll gave Romney a razor-thin 45%-44% lead in Michigan, well within the margin of error, but several other recent polls have shown Obama ahead in the state – which he won by 16 points in 2008. Rasmussen Reports had Obama leading Romney by 6 points last week, while Public Policy Polling put his lead at 14 points.
