Lansing-based EPIC-MRA did an automated survey of 1,200 likely voters on Tuesday and found Obama leading Romney 49%-46% when respondents were asked who they’d vote for if they had to make a decision right then. Five percent were undecided.

The poll – which has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points – was taken before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, meaning respondents had not heard Romney’s wife, Ann, finish her speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa or hear running mate Paul Ryan’s speech on Wednesday.
