Mitt Romney now leads President Obama in the race for Florida's 29 electoral votes, a significant reversal from earlier this spring, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released early on Wednesday.
Romney leads Obama overall, 47 percent to 41 percent, the poll shows. Two percent of voters prefer another candidate, 7 percent are undecided, and 3 percent said they would not vote. Three weeks ago, in another Quinnipiac poll, the two candidates were statistically tied, with Romney at 44 percent and Obama at 43 percent.

Very perceptive and agree 100%!
They were probably in a hurry to get to the Early Bird Special.

The Race war is working about as well as the war on women. Perhaps Blacks have to buy gas too?

Don’t worry, people of color (even very light color) are still for Obama.
Just saw that pompous ass Colin Powell on Fox News. He only went on because he is touting a book.
He defended Obama on the AFHAn pullout and didn’t believe the military leaders who say they weren’t consulted.
He refused to say who he is supporting this year, smiling smugly and declaring “I don’t have to, I’m a private citizen.”
Yeah, a private citizen who’s trying to sell a book on his experiences as “a private citizen?”
Think not.
Can’t stand that hypocritical dude.
Not Rick Perry. Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich were the ones who brought up Bain Capital against Romney in the primaries.
Doubt seriously if Romney is happy about that.
Rick Perry was my candidate but maybe not as veep. Doubt if he would be offered it and doubt if he would take it.
My money (if I had any) is on Paul Ryan.
Zero keeps going downhill and the MSM keeps on pretending everything is rosy.
I don’t know anyone who likes him.
Any state where a formerly robust economy is flat on it’s back will likely be Romney’s, and he has midwestern roots deeper than Obama’s. Romney will win Florida and Texas, and be competitive (at least) in NY and maybe CA. Those are the four big ones.
Thanks!
And the weekend before the election, the candidates will be dead-even in the polls. It is a near certainty in this largely unpredictable world.
Ignored by Florida Media? WOW - that’s otta left field.../s
The gay marriage stuff pushed a lot of folks away... they won’t be coming back soon.
If Obama gets rid of,’bite me’ Biden for Hillary Clinton, do any of you think Romney would also choose a woman for his VP? Right now, I think, Romney has lots of good choices out there...both men and women.
Well if that what really matters to millions of others and they didn’t care about the economy—foreign policy—energy—SCOTUS etc etc which should be enough for anybody with brains then they are DUMB
“this poll is of registered voters”
Can’t trust that poll. Only “LIKELY” or “VERY LIKELY” voter polls are potentially accurate .
“Hispanics have also trended toward Romney in the two surveys. The two candidates now run virtually even among Hispanic voters, with Obama at 42 percent and Romney 40 percent.”
Is that because of the large Cuban population in south Florida? They are almost 100% Republican as I recall. That would account for the large “hispanic” vote for Romney......
I would think that is not representative of the national “hispanic” vote.
Looks like the FReeper Romney-haters have got some work to do in Florida!
C’mon gang! Let’s see y’all tell those dumb okefenokees all about it!
Romney’s convention happens first...Obamugabe picks second.
I know some think he’ll choose Pantsuit to run with him...but that may not happen for the same reason Romney probably won’t pick Chris Christie.
The “VP” is not supposed to outshine the top of the ticket.
Christie, with all his bravado, would outshine Romney.
Hillary, with all her bravado, would do the same to Obamugabe.
