No Bounce For Romney In Florida
PPP's newest Florida poll, conducted completely after the Republican convention, finds no change in the Presidential race there. Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney 48-47, exactly as he did on our last poll of the state five weeks ago.
The Republican convention being held in Tampa appears to have been a wash. 33% of voters say it made them more likely to vote for Republicans, 33% said it made them less likely to vote for Republicans, and 34% said it didn't make a difference to them either way.
Romney did see a slight bump in his favorability numbers. 49% of voters have a positive opinion of him to 47% with a negative one. That +2 spread is up a net 5 points from late July when his breakdown was 46/49.
The rest of the speakers at the convention seem to have been more of a hit with voters. Condoleezza Rice's numbers in particular stand out. 66% of voters see her favorably to 22% with a negative opinion. That's up a net 13 points from our last poll when she was already pretty darn popular at 59/28. Even with Democrats Rice comes in at 47/36. Another star from the convention is Ann Romney. 56% of voters give her good marks to 22% with an unfavorable opinion and she comes close to breaking even with Democrats at 32/39.

“Biased” is automatically redundant when it comes to PPP.
A PPP poll. LOL! Don’t they work for Kos?
If PPP is doing the polling, then I imagine that Romney is up by 5 points.
That being said, I am sure the Democrats learned the lesson of 2000, but I am not entirely convinced Republicans have, which is that every vote counts, and that Republicans have to have a comfortable margin to win to make up for liberal voter fraud.
You can bet your bottom bippy that Romney is ahead in Florida by at least a couple of points if the PPPer’s are showing him a point behind. Count on it. Romney WILL win Florida.
Yes. PPP does the polling for Daily Kos.
It could be bias. Or it could just mean that Mitt Romney’s our nominee.
PPP == Premium Pooping Platform ever since that incredibly agenda-motivated Akin poll. That was the most unprofessional polling I’ve ever seen.
Anyway, here’s their FL poll at the end of July:

July Breakdown: 42D-40R-19I
Now: 41D-37R-21I
And yet another poll says he did.
Hahahaha!!
It is a holiday weekend ..rich GOP are not home...wait till Wednesday
Have seen more OBAMA stickers than Mittens in Florida
Well....hard to say for sure. PPP does have a recent poll showing Akin within 1 of mcidiot in Missouri, and Romney up 12 in Missouri. So...
Similarly, they show Romney up slightly in NC.
So, they do sometimes get “good” results. Hard to say what the truth is just based on who commissions the poll. Personally, I think Romney is probably winning FL. But that’s my opinion....
Same here but this doesn't mean much. Republicans know they bumper sticker their cars and put yard signs on their lawns at their peril (thanks to Obama voters). Personally, I'd never put a Romney bumper sticker (or that of any other Republican candidate) on my car. I'd rather not spend the money to replace slashed tires.
Sample (+4 Dem oversample)
Rats 41
GOP 37
Ind 22
A quick look at the PPP internals shows they oversampled Dems by 13 points in North Carolina!........in 2008 Obama only won NC by 49.7% to 49.4% for McCain....and now they decide to use 13 points, and that is just to show Obama TIED?!........and not only that, but I can assure you that conservatives are highly motivated this election, in addition to some Dems who “did not sign up” for Obama’s radicalism....lefties are in for a rude awakening. Here’s the question from their “poll”:
Q18 If you are a Democrat, press 1. If a Republican,
press 2. If you are an independent or identify
with another party, press 3.
Democrat ........................................................ 47%
Republican...................................................... 34%
Independent/Other.......................................... 19%

The thing to learn is to control the people who COUNT the votes.
” put yard signs on their lawns at their peril “
Rub your yard signs with poison ivy/oak/sumac! Then when they’re stolen, check out your neighbors for signs of Calamine Lotion!
No, Obamugabe doesn’t lead in Florida. A recent poll (8/18) by a Demonrat firm shows Obamugabe losing in Florida by 15 points.
Begrudgingly acknowledged by the NY Slimes:
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/20/aug-20-when-the-polling-gets-weird/
The dirty little secret, as Rush likes to say, is that Obamugabe is increasingly unpopular in Florida. He will lose.
Two questions:
How many people who did not vote for Obama in 2008 are likely to decide they will vote for him in 2012?
How many people who did vote for Obama in 2008 are likely to stay home or vote against him in November?
