PPP's was probably an outlier, too, in that it showed a lead for Obama that was bigger than it actually was. But every other poll besides this new one and the EPIC poll had Obama with a sizable and comfortable lead in Michigan. How did it change that quickly?

Also, the EPIC polls have been better for Romney than any other pollster in Michigan, for what's that worth.

I guess I'll just wait for another poll or two to see if this is a trend or just a couple outliers in a row.
