Obama 48%-Romney 47% in hard-fought presidential race in Florida
Miami Herald ^ | Sept. 24, 2012 | Marc Caputo

President Obama and Mitt Romney are locked in a virtual tie in Florida, according to a Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald/Tampa Bay Times poll that indicates the Democrats’ convention buzz and the Republican’s recent troubles haven’t altered the race in this biggest of battleground states.

Obama is drawing 48 percent support to Romney’s 47 percent among likely voters — a lead well within the poll’s 3.5 percent error margin. Only 4 percent are undecided.

“Despite what some people have tried to claim, this race is still close in Florida,” said Brad Coker, who conducted the Mason-Dixon Polling & Research survey. “It’s very much a toss-up.”

Obama has fought Romney to a standstill over who’s more trustworthy when it comes to the economy. But 51 percent say they’re not better off than they were four years ago, while 41 percent say they are.

The president is also up by 6 percentage points when it comes to foreign policy — even after the attacks on a Middle East embassy and consulate that left four Americans dead.

We want to believe you (very badly). But where are the data to support your assertion? Anecdotal stories are flying into this website left and right, but the personal accounts of a few individuals are not any more reliable than bad polls.

Obamugabe will not win Florida. Jews in Palm Beach are pissed...the central corridor isn’t doing as well as it could...northern Florida, even with a Demon-rat as mayor in Jacksonville is a pipe dream for him....the only real stronghold that commie has is deep south Florida and Tallahassee.

Not enough.

Anyone that is so naive as to believe that polls have actual data hasn't been paying attention. Nothing is real anymore - nothing. Ideas are "pushed" into the zeitgeist at astonishing speed, manufactured by a relatively small number of operatives. Signs are all around us - the way kids speak, the way polls ask questions, the words used by the media. For instance, how long do you think it will take for Hollywood to lull the masses into believing that Obamacare is a good thing?

WAKE UP! Don't let them tell you what to think. Don't let them create your thoughts for you. Learn how the game works and don't be afraid.

Means nothing.

Come election day, 65-75% of ‘em will walk into the polls and vote for the ‘rats (including Obama) anyway.

Wait and see.

Romney is an excellent manager. I don’t think his warchest or his ads are his secret weapons.I think Romneys weapon will be his managerial abilities and that he will register more republicans than 4 years ago and run an excellent GOTV operation. That is where he will shine I think.

Actually no democrat Presidential Candidate since Carter has won with less than 75% of the Jewish vote. If Obama gets down in tghe 60’s he will have big trouble.

"...Romney is going to win in a landslide..."

I agree, Hildy! The polling hucksters are trying too hard to sell their crappy candidate.

It's not working ---
"It's the economy, Stupid!"
"8+% Unemployment for all your years, 0bumbles!"
"The moslems are still murdering people, including ours, and you go to Vegas!"
"And YOU wanna borrow another 5 Trillion dollars, you asshole?"

Landslide! ................................................. FRegards
