if Obama is ahead of Romney by 6 in this sample, and Romney up 4 on Cain.... if we assume in reality that Romney is within a couple of points of Obama, then certainly Cain is much closer to Romney than 4 points...in fact, Cain my actually be in front of Romney in FL.

That literally made no sense at all.

I was saying if this poll is skewed towards Obama (+6) in an Obama/Romney matchup, then it is also probably skewed towards Romney (+4) in a Romney/Cain matchup....therefore, Cain may not actually be trailing Romney at all in FL.

Okay but that doesn't make any sense. Even if we were to accept your idea of a Republican poll being skewed towards Obama, why would that also make it skewed toward Romney?
