In the most shocking survey this election cycle, a poll released today finds Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama by 14 percentage points among likely Florida voters.
Foster McCollum White & Associates, Baydoun Consulting and Douglas Fulmer & Associates, of Dearborn, Mich., questioned 1,503 likely Florida voters Friday and found Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, leading Obama 54%-40%. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.53%.
Although recent Florida polls have been trending slightly in Romneys direction (+2% and +1% in the most recent surveys), the jaw-dropping 14-point gap is a shocker. Future polls will determine if this result is ahead of the curve or merely an outlier.
In the U.S. Senate race in Florida, the poll found Rep. Connie Mack IV, R-Fort Myers, leading incumbent Bill Nelson 51%-43%.

Good advise!
>> People whose polls are usually only seen by insiders...
Oh! Is that right? These are INSIDE pollsters?
Are you sure? Any supporting evidence?
(I’m not calling you out or anything... just interested.)
Well, that’s still a significant change.

You need to add:
8) Greatly reduce legal immigration - ending all illegal immigration tomorrow would still leave a million-plus pro-Democrat legal immigrants per year. To avoid demographic destruction, the GOP must end mass immigration.
I wonder what method these insiders' polls use that makes them more reliable than Rasmussen or Mason-Dixon, for example?
Perhaps you know them better as

If it seems like an outlier, it probably is an outlier. If Barry thought he was down double-digits in Florida, he’d be living there.
ROFLMAO!
We don’t like Bambi here. I live in the only county McGovern carried in Florida, home of UF. Will be interesting to see if Bambi takes it this year but no way he takes Florida. It is permeating like 1980 which I remember very clearly.
That said, a first glance suggest that Ohio looks like Florida. If true, then the next "poll shocker" may come from there.

Obama’s chickens...are coming home to roost.......
“Maybe , but we have to find a way to KEEP the majority in both Houses for the forseeable future . Not much good if we are going to hand it back to the left in 4 or 8 years . Been that route time and time again.”
Yeah, look at the golden opportunity we gave the RINOS in 2000 and what they did with it. We have to start right now to get rid of all the people of the “Boner Ilk.” We would not have a problem in 4 or 8 years if these AH’s ever delivered on their promises and tried not to be like Democrat Lite. We have to be ever vigilant for signs of the Republicans chrome plating turds and telling us that prosperity is just around the corner.
this poll is an outlier...nice but still an outlier
way way outta whack with all other recent FL polls
just checking the demographics and this poll leaned heavily white non hispanic and older
count me on record it is wishful thinking
ya’ll can rub my nose in it later
This poll polls Likely Voters therefore is one of the more credible ones.
“Greatly reduce legal immigration - ending all illegal immigration tomorrow would still leave a million-plus pro-Democrat legal immigrants per year. To avoid demographic destruction, the GOP must end mass immigration.”
The time has come to essentially “end immigration”, period.
Enough are here for 50 years into the future, at least.
Let assimilation happen, if it’s even possible anymore.
We don’t need any more, for a while. Perhaps an exception could be made for Caucasian South Africans and [former] Rhodesians who will soon be facing genocide. We could use those folks.
But that’s about it.
I wonder why that is? Could it be the numbers they are getting are extremely alarming for the messiah?
Yes...but I do live in Austin (aka. little Berkeley)
