The poll, released this morning to the Free Press and four TV stations, shows Romney leading Obama 46%-45%.

...

EPIC asked poll respondents as well how their views might be affected by Obama’s recent announcement of support for same-sex marriage, and Romney’s opposition to the federal government bailouts of the auto industry.

Same sex marriage prompted 12% to say they would be more likely to vote for Obama, while 34% said they would be less likely.

Romney’s position on federal aid to GM and Chrysler made 18% of voters more likely to support him, and 39% less likely.

Asked what their presidential preference would be in light of those positions, the head-to-head results flipped, with Obama ahead 46%-45%.

...

Both are well within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The telephone survey of 600 likely voters was conducted June 2-5.

EPIC usually has an epic GOP-leaning sample, sometimes with more Republicans than Democrats.

Was also the case in 2008 polling:

End May 2008 EPIC poll: McCain+4
End June 2008 PPP poll: Obama+9

Final result: Obama+16
