Lansing — President Barack Obama is leading Republican Mitt Romney in Michigan by roughly 9 percentage points, according to a quarterly Michigan State University study released Friday.
The study also found Gov. Rick Snyder's popularity has continued to grow and consumer confidence is at its highest level since 2005, though it's changed little in the past year.
The study was conducted earlier in the summer than a Detroit News/WDIV Local 4 survey conducted Saturday through Monday that showed the president leading by 14.2 percentage points, 38.9 percent to 29.8 percent.
In the MSU survey, Obama led Romney 38.9 percent to 29.8 percent. The 1,015-sample live operator telephone study was conducted June 12 through Aug. 13 by the MSU Center for Public Policy and Social Research. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.08 percentage points.
