Meanwhile, national surveys conducted by seven more pollsters over the past week give Obama leads varying from 1 to 6 percentage points, and a new poll in Michigan published on Wednesday and sponsored by the Detroit Free Press and local television station WXYZ-TV showed Obama expanding his lead there from 3 to 10 percentage points since late August.
