VIDEO: Polls show Romney back on top in Michigan, but Santorum's appeal among women is rising

The latest polling out of Michigan has former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney back on top with former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum close behind.

The polls represent a complete 360 from about two weeks ago, with Santorum having surged out to a 9-point lead, in the RealClearPolitics.com average of polling. Romney now enjoys an average lead of 1.6 percent. The most recent polls, which tend to better reflect the current moods of voters, give Romney a 3-to-6 percent lead. 

The latest Rasmussen Reports poll shows Romney with a 6-point lead; the previous Rasmussen poll released just four days ago had Santorum with a 4-point lead.
