LANSING — A new poll released by Epic-MRA, based in Lansing has found that Mitt Romney is leading Michigan for the Presidential race against Barack Obama. According to the poll, Romney leads Obmama 46-45 percent respectively. In April, that same poll had Obama leading 47-43 percent. 

The poll demonstrates that middle class tax payers compare Obama's failed record with Mitt Romney's record of creating jobs, according to Romney's campaign. Also being taken into account is that the national unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent for the last 40 months, an all time record. Last month the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent.
