White House hopeful Mitt Romney widened his lead over rival Newt Gingrich to 11 percentage points in Florida, according to Reuters/Ipsos online poll results on Saturday, up from 8 points a day earlier, as he cemented his front-runner status in the Republican nomination race.

With just three days remaining before Florida's Republican primary, Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, led Gingrich, a former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, by 43 percent to 32 percent among likely voters in Florida's January 31 primary, the online poll said.

Online polls are about as accurate as as using sunspots to predict the stock market.

Rotor Ruuuueters online poll? . Usually the worst polling group around, but an online poll is worthless.

“Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, led Gingrich, a former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, by 43 percent to 32 percent among likely voters in Florida’s January 31 primary, the online poll said.”

It’s an online poll which typically doubles the lead for the guy ahead. It’s really probably Romney by 5 or 6 points.

That British sense of humor strikes again. Reuters isn't even American, they're based in London and are ultra-leftists who coddle Mooselimbs by failing to use language offensive to Mohammedans.

Online polls = worthless.

[Dr. Sivana]

Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online surveys, but this poll of 903 likely voters has a credibility interval of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

That is the long way of saying "THIS IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC POLL".
