Romney's good polling in Michigan explained

It looks like a poll by a Democratic pollster (Baydoun/Foster) oversampled old people (usually Republican) and another pollster called EPIC asked a question about whether or not respondents think the economy has tanked. This question should not have been asked immediately before the Obama vs. Romney question, according to Pollster.com's expert (and founder) Mark Blumenthal.

In summary, the article makes it clear that Obama's lead in Michigan is not as small as it may seem at this point. PPP and Rasmussen seem to be doing things right according to the piece. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/15/michigan-polls_n_1601368.html?1339795751&ncid=edlinkusaolp00000008
