Despite repeated attempts to paint Republicans as bad for Medicare and Social Security, President Obama and Sen. Bill Nelson are essentially tied with their Republican rivals when it comes to Florida retirees and baby boomers, a new AARP poll shows.

I don’t understand why. Is it because zero is likeable?

This is a group that should, and needs to, go HEAVILY for Romney. If this group stays this close, Romney stands no chance in FL. This would be like Obama getting “only” 70% of the black vote. It would be devastating. These are bad numbers for Mitt.

AARP and SEIU are twin evils. The former pretends to be non-partisan, the later does not.

AARP's latest offering to me is to cut their membership by $1 per year.

I used to just toss them in the trash. Now I write "How's that ObamaCare thing working out for you?" and mail them back in their postage paid envelope.

Unlike everyone here who either hates, likes or accepts Romney already, the populace at large have not had a good look at him yet. That will come around debate time. I think Romney will come off pretty well and people will say okay that’s it for Obama.

We can hope. Obama deserves way lower numbers than he has right now. Of course a press that treats every dem as inevitable and every republican as a bum, is quite a propoganda tool.

I have been to Harts website and no internals. No poll can be taken serious without internals. We know the media needs these polls to stay close to help Obama raise money. I will old judgment until they are published.

Always send in prepaid envelopes from craven commie outfits and pad them with some screed so they are barely overweight.

If they have a spot for a return address then City Hall in Chicago or other leftist paradise is a good address to use.

The white guilt is strong, especially in the 50+ generation. Many folks would not tell a stranger on the phone that they don't like History's First Black President.

“tied with their Republican rivals when it comes to Florida retirees and baby boomers, a new AARP poll shows.”

It’s Better news than it looks at first glance.

It’s AARP for God’s Sake! They Should be able to manufacture something far more favorable to their Leftist Heroes, and this has got to be tearing them all up.

The group barely favored Obama over McCain in 2008:
