San Diego – A statewide poll of Florida voters for the Republican presidential primary election, released today by Datamar Inc., shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in first place with 35.6%. U.S. Senator John McCain is in second place with 23.2%; former Mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani is in third place in the polls with 14.8%; and former Governor from Arkansas Mike Huckabee is in fourth place with 13.2%. The findings are based on a January 25 – 27, 2008 survey of Florida voters.

The Romney surge is in full effect. Nationally, Romney has more than doubled his support over the last two weeks and now leads. McCain's support has been flat since before the Michigan primary.

Romney is also leading McCain by 15 points among conservatives now. It looks like the FredHeads have spoken.

Great to see there are some real Republicans in Florida.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Thank heavens! McCain is a loose cannon.

[counterpunch]

If numbers like these hold up, McCain is finished.
Hopefully Mitt will have the nomination sewn up on Feb. 5th.

I started laughing at the goobers on Fox News when they started crowing that Thompson dropping out was going to help Huckabee. What bunk. I knew Thompson dropping out would be far better for Romney than Huck.

Fox is in the tank for McCain. They will do anything to bash Mitt at this point..just like they did with Fred.

[counterpunch]

Don’t get me started on Fox News!
Fox is crazy like McCain.

I have never heard of this poll before. Does anyone know whether RCP includes it in its average and, if not, why not?

Has to be seen as good news.

please make it so!

You guys need to quit posting this Bogus survey. Look back at all your survey’s since this election season started. Ever hear of Datamar Inc. before?

Rush just mentioned this poll a few minutes ago.

This is Hugh AND Series!

Could this really be a BLOWOUT?

I'd be surprised, but happy if it were so!

I hope this poll is correct. Other polls show it much closer.
Anyone know the history or this polling service?

[ChronicMA]

OK, so its safe not to vote now, since the result is clear and these polls are never wrong.

Datamar has been tracking Florida since May.
Check out the pdf.
Lots of detailed data in there.

“Does anyone know whether RCP includes it in its average and, if not, why not?”

No they don’t. I think its a polling company owned by MittWit.com.

I noticed how MSM would say something negative about Thompson. If not for McCain and Huckabee running, IMHO Thompson would be in a strong position.

[Azzurri]

Wow...what an outlier poll. Hopefully it’s right, but it’s wildly different than the other polls out there. Of course, they were ALL wrong on NH (Dems) and even MI (Mitt won larger than expected).
