Your choice could determine who will take on President Obama this November, and it could be Mitt Romney’s race to lose.

A new exclusive News 13 Florida Decides Poll offers a better idea of who's in the best position to win the Florida primary on Tuesday and take on Obama.

Newt Gingrich has seen his early lead vanish in Florida, now Mitt Romney appears poised to claim victory this Tuesday.

Romney leads Gingrich by 11 points, 42 to 31 percent. Rick Santorum is a distant third at 14 percent. Ron Paul, who has not campaigned in Florida, comes in with 6 percent. The X factor – 7 percent responded as undecided, meaning they haven’t picked who they'll vote for yet.

Actually Zero defines the “rich” at $250k. Romney the socialist defines the line at $200k for cap gains. Zero is to the right of Romney.

Polls are nothing more than propaganda to convince you a “favored” candidate is leading a “foe”.

I will believe who leads come next Wednesday which will be AFTER the people actually have made their choice.

Agreed. Without the crosstabs the poll is garbage. It would make sense that they polled only registered Republicans as the FL primary is closed, but they should state that clearly.

You’d be suprised how many people in this country don’t have computers or internet, but spend huge amounts of time watching nothing MSM TV. The only “book” you’ll ever see anywhere these types is People magazine. Seriously.

Sounds much like the society described in Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451".

This is my MIL, who votes Democrat. She has her opinions solidly formed for anyone but Republicans.

I have call waiting and don’t take her calls anymore.

Don’t have the time to do it, but I’d love to plot the sentiment of FR opinions of polls week to week. In the last few days of SC and into early FL polls were reacted to with glee. They were not push polls (which is a pretty specific type of poll but I digress) - they were validations of the Gingrich candidacy. Polls need to be judged on the quality of their sample and the method but I don’t see much of that here.

It’s illogical and irrational.

But profitable. Plus it is a leg up the ladder to the next cocktail party where the little people can't go.

How can bondi be suing over obamacare and support romney? It’s illogical and irrational.

I heard her this morning trying to explain why a federal mandate for an individual to buy insurance was different than a state mandate for an individual to buy insurance. I couldn't even call her answer a tap-dance, it was so bad.

Agree.
