I donīt see how Obama is ahead, when McCain has a 60% favorable rating in this poll, compared with just 51% for Obama ...
Which suggests that Obama if he can increase his favorables or something happens to drive McCain's down, Florida may well be in play. But, seemingly, Obama has taken a small lead which can only be explained by the following:
Nearly half of voters in Florida (49%) say economic issues are the most important in the upcoming election. Of those voters, 63% choose Obama while just 27% choose McCain - obviously better showing for Obama here than in Ohio . In a very distant second, 19% of voters choose National Security issues as the most important in the Presidential election. Among those voters, McCain has a 79% to 18% advantage. Dave
