0ptimus FL poll: Rick Scott 42%, Charlie Crist 39%
Sunshine State News ^ | 10/27/14 | Marc Caputo

The new Republican data analytics firm, 0ptimus, has released another mega-robopoll with some good news for Gov. Rick Scott: He's narrowly leading Democrat Charlie Crist.

The race is still technically a tie but Scott's lead of 2.4 percentage points (41.9-39.4 percent) is almost outside the poll's error margin.

The Miami Herald is reporting that in this survey, Rick Scott pulls 16% of Democrats.

Is this an outlier or an indication of the electorate breaking for Republicans?

If 16% of Democrats vote GOP, this is going to be a bloodbath!

Another weird breakdown: Rick Scott only pulling 69% of Republicans, Crist only pulling 66% of Demon Rats.

Thats why I have believed for some time now that polling should be outlawed. It is now being used as a tool to sway voters and effect election outcomes.

you would have to be dead to vote for Charlie Crisp, well, there are probably 100,000 dead people in Florida. we see them driving in the winter swirving from the right to left lane quite often.

16%? Still within the margin of fraud IMO.

“Let me tell you about Florida politicians. I make them out of whole cloth, just like a tailor makes a suit. I get their name in the newspaper. I get them some publicity and get them on the ballot. Then after the election, we count the votes. And if they don’t turn out right, we recount them. And recount them again. Until they do.”

Did they report what percentage of Republicans Crist is pulling?

Also a 19% undecided rate a week from the election doesn't say a lot about either candidate.

Yes, Crist gets 14% of so-called Republicans.

Wyllie the Indie gets a total of 12%, pulling 5% of Rs, 7% of Ds.

The “unsure” tally is at 7%.

I am a big proponent of the “yard sign and bumper sticker factors” here in Florida. That’s how I was pretty confident early in 2010 that Crist was toast..Rubio bumper stickers were everywhere in the bay area..but I hardly ever saw a Crist one. Scott signs are all over the place...which especially in Hillsborough, is a good thing..there is ZERO enthusiasm for Crist..I think Scott wins by about 8 points..Dems are not motivated..

Scott’s lead of 2.4 percentage points (41.9-39.4 percent)
____________________________________________________________

So, do we assume that the other 18.7% are “Undecided” or voting for “someone else”? While this is not horrible news, it NOT great news for Scott. Undecideds usually break for the challenger. Is there a 3rd Party candidate polling in single digits? Are there any numbers telling us what percentage are “undecided”?

OMGoodness. That is hilarious. It needs to go viral on the internet. You’d be surprised how many Floridians there are to whom that would totally turn them off to Charlie.

Scott only won by 1% in the 2010 tea party wave year. No chance he wins by 8%.

This will be close and could go either way.
