FL: Public Policy Polling: Obama up by 1%

That's nice. They had me worried about Florida being worse than Indiana for Obama when that poll was close enough as it was.

Not in Florida.

I know everyone talks about the Cubans, but I didn't think they made up the majority of Hispanics in Florida.

I forget what the totals are, but it needn't be a majority to get this result. If you average up high Republican voting among Cuban-Americans, low voting rates among other Latinos (Puerto Ricans aside), Republican voting by some other Latino ethnicities in Florida (Venezuelan, Colombian), and the fact that a sizable minority of non-Cuban Latinos votes Republican anyway, it makes sense.
