Last week, a Quinnipiac poll showed Barack Obama’s job approval rating in the Sunshine State at 42%, with 52% disapproving. A new Mason-Dixon poll shows that the Q-poll was no outlier. The survey conducted for the St. Petersburg Times gives Obama a 43/56 approval rating, with a surprisingly bad result among independents:
President Barack Obama is in trouble in Florida as he begins his re-election campaign.
A new Sachs/Mason-Dixon poll found that only 34 percent of independent voters in Florida — always the key to winning — approve of Obama’s performance, and that either former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney or former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee would beat the president in Florida if the election were held today.
“If one of the top-tier Republicans gets the nomination, it will be a real fight for Florida,” said Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker.
This poll also shows that two Republicans presumed or potentially running for the nomination clearly top the incumbent in Florida. Romney beats him by five, as does Huckabee, but neither get to 50%. Sarah Palin trails Obama by twelve points, 39/51, and Donald Trump trails by eight. There are probably enough retirees from New York City in Florida who have seen enough Donald Trump in their lifetimes.
At the moment, Huckabee is the leader among GOP voters for the nomination, but not by much. He gets 23%, five points ahead of Romney, ten points ahead of Trump, and 15 points ahead of Tim Pawlenty. Palin’s standing in the polls has dropped precipitously; she now gets only 5% of Florida primary voters for the nomination, and given the key position of Florida in the nomination process, this is bad news if Palin decides to run.

Florida is a big state that is almost 100% automobile dependent. No train or bikepath alternatives like the Northeast Corridor, and very few people living within walking distance of stores, etc. Five dollar gas will slit your political throat real fast in such places.
1- Most likely loaded with libs, communists, Blacks, gay galore
2- The Communist rags simply lie
The only way to find out is to see the poll internals, if you can bypass their lying about said internals!
I just can't trust them even as a ballpark figure. That said, at least the Communists are admitting that 0b0z0 is down rather than soaring, which is good news by itself.
He may be able to unseat the usurper before 2012???
