Poll: Obama Sinking Dems in Swing State Florida
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | November 25, 2013 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 11/26/2013 1:26:47 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

A new Quinnipiac poll of Florida finds a majority of voters in the state view President Obama as untrustworthy. Just 44% believe Obama is honest. This view is a major factor in the collapse of Obama's approval rating in the state, where just 40% of voters approve of the job he is doing. This poll drop isn't just confined to Obama, however. The poll found a significant trend towards Republicans and steep drops in approval ratings for Democrats up and down the ballot.

Former Gov. Charlie Crist, who is seeking the Democrat nomination for Governor next year, saw his favorable ratings drop 15 points since the last poll taken in June. Among Independents, Crist lost 22 points and more voters view him unfavorably now. In a match-up with incumbent Gov. Rick Scott, Crist holds a 7 point lead. In March, however, Crist led Scott by 16 points.

Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson dropped 16 points in his favorable ratings. In June, 51% of voters approved of Nelson. Today, just 43% approve. His unfavorable ratings jumped, as well, rising to 37% from 29% in June. Nelson's numbers are near the low-point of his political career.

Even Hillary Clinton has been hurt by Obama's polling collapse....

It isn’t that Crist is popular. He isn’t. The problem is Scott, who has never been popular. Scott needs a Primary opponent.

Mr. Obama won twice, Joe Biden is VP, Hillary is the leading contender for the White House, Nasty McFilthy won in Virginia, a man who treated with the VC and North Vietnamese is Secretary of State and Abortion Barbie will probably be the gubernatorial candidate for the Dems in Texas. Need I say more?

Obama won in 2008 and 2012. I believe that should answer your question.

” Has the whole world gone nuts?”

In a country that elects frauds such as Obama and idiots like Biden..... TWICE... the answer to that question is plainly obvious.

I know you are all right and my question was rhetorical, but it still boggles my mind and I just do not understand it. There is something more at work here because no matter where I look, I can’t find any earthly logic to what is going on everywhere in the world.

Scott has been a horrible gov....his prosecuting George Zimmerman (along with AG Pam Dark Meat Bondi...and Angela Corey is his bud) shows he is pro Black Racist and anti 2d Amendment. A lot of GOP will not vote for Scott. Best to primary Scott to get a better candidate against Crist

“There is something more at work here because no matter where I look, I can’t find any earthly logic to what is going on everywhere in the world.”

The answer is fairly obvious: Evil is ascendant.

Living in Florida, I think Scott’s problem is that he’s not really a politician. He does some good things for the state, like killing the train from Tampa to Orlando, but doesn’t get the message out at all. Typical politicians are media whores. Don’t hear from Scott too much. I’m a news junkie and don’t really know what the heck he is doing.

Crist will just change over to Republican if his poll gets to low.

Don’t hear from Scott too much

I believe that’s because he is to busy working to help Florida and the Citizens to always be in the limelite, he is getting results and doesnt have to go on tv to brag about it.

“I believe that’s because he is to busy working to help Florida”

True, he has a private business background. However, he’s a lousy politician and the citizen’s of Florida have no idea about the good things he’s doing. Therefore, a bozo like Charlie Christ can beat him in the polls and probably the election because he’ll brag about it all day. Scott might do good things, but he needs to get out there and talk about it. Otherwise, when the people piles on against him, people are going to believe it much easier. Some people want to primary him. Much easier to win with a successful experienced governor. Most Loinfo voters remember the good old days under Christ.

Scott and his AG did nothing to stop the Election Fraud in Florida. They ignored the entire situation where the female Election Official stole ballots and then checked into a hospital. After 30 days, the results are automatically deemed valid. The was the area where Col. West ran.
Scott should have been on top of this along with Biondi.
They also ignored all the fraud in the Zimmerman prosection.
Primary him.
