[You kip if you want to...]

http://weaskamerica.com/2012/07/03/tight-in-florida/

Obama 46%
Romney 45%

Only one poll in the RCP average for FL has Mitt ahead...

Seems fairly accurate from what I've seen on the ground. It's still pretty much a toss-up.

You're right, how dare they say Obama by 1 in a contested state 4 months from the election. Oh, and that poll they had about a week ago saying Romney by 5 in VA and 2 weeks ago claiming Romney by 2? He's ahead by at least 10 in both states!

Obama's bain attacks are destroying  romney.

The way We Ask America's results keep ping ponging all over the place, their polls are useless except as headline generators.

If they're not destroying Mitt they're reinforcing the fact that he's a slimy businessman who the public doesn't trust. I think a majority of people don't like Romney or have unfavorable views of him, and these ads allow people to maintain that. If Obama can keep Romney's favorables low by attacking his business practices then he has a good shot at winning.

I can't ban anyone.

[old timey villain]

anybody know why these polls never seem to have either candidate breaking 50? I know this is typical in polls, especially this far out from an election, but does someone want to explain what the meaning is behind the numbers, and how they think the large number of undecideds will break?

I'm in St. Pete; here the Obama signs outnumber the Romney signs about 3:1 or so, but I'd expect the opposite to be true out in say Lakeland.

I haven't actually seen to many yard signs, probably around 5 or so, only one of those being for Mitt. However, I see newer Obama bumper stickers almost everyone I drive. Sometimes I see a Romney sticker. I actually think I see more Ron Paul stickers than Romney stickers.

[Eraserhead]

So Obama really leads by 5 or 6?

Signs was including stickers, advertisements, and such, but you do probably see more Everett Rice/Bob Gualtieri and/or Jim Frishe/Jeff Brandes signs than all Presidential ones put together.

Let's look at this logically: Most people agree that Obama by 1 point doesn't seem too far off base in Florida.  This is a hotly contested election and Florida has traditionally been close. The fact that southerners really don't like Obama is not anything too new and is almost irrelevant since Florida is not exactly a prototypical southern state.

Using irrational statements such as "your savior" and "leftist hack organization" is just not going to change any of this. You don't like Obama---I get that part. What I and many other people are not interested in are exagerations like these.

Electorally, Florida isn't really part of the "south."

A lot people despise him in states like ours, but Florida....

No, I don't. I live by some of the reddest areas of Louisiana. I have a good understanding of the state of politics down here.

Then you admit conservatives are more energized than they were 4 years ago, despite the Mormon?

Well, they probably are in states that Romney is already expected to win easily, like LA and AR.

Though, a report from CNN that Krazen was gloating over yesterday actually showed that Democrats' enthusiasm is higher than that of Republicans'.

The Panhandle hasn't been crucial to a candidate's victory in Florida for the last few decades.

The networks called Florida for Gore because they made assumptions about the panhandle numbers...
