In the most shocking survey this election cycle, a poll released today finds Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama by 14 percentage points among likely Florida voters.
Foster McCollum White & Associates, Baydoun Consulting and Douglas Fulmer & Associates, of Dearborn, Mich., questioned 1,503 likely Florida voters Friday and found Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, leading Obama 54%-40%. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.53%.
Although recent Florida polls have been trending slightly in Romney’s direction (+2% and +1% in the most recent surveys), the jaw-dropping 14-point gap is a shocker. Future polls will determine if this result is ahead of the curve or merely an outlier.
In the U.S. Senate race in Florida, the poll found Rep. Connie Mack IV, R-Fort Myers, leading incumbent Bill Nelson 51%-43%.

Nice
Great news!
Hard to believe this one. I’d like to see the sample.
My humble guess is that if he’s firmly ahead by twelve points by early September....if I were the President, I’d take my money and leave the state....giving up the chance of winning it. He doesn’t have a vast fortune this time around, and it’s best to spend campaign funding in places where you think you have a chance.
By picking up Medicare as a major topic....it did help Romney to some degree in states like Arizona and Florida.
Even the 50/50 polls are good news. Energy level low given the out of work young and black voters.
I don’t think the libs know what’s in store for them. Outside of the whackos on MSNBC, DU and the HuffingtonPuffington Post, does anyone know anyone who’s going to vote for Obama?
I don’t. And I live in SOCAL.
We all know that most polls are rigged with oversampling of Dems based on the 2008 turnout in a laughable attempt to prop up Obama and keep him viable. Polls are garbage in, garbage out.
The GOP is going to take the Senate and R&R are going to win in a landslide.
With numbers like this it is looking like we will win, doesn’t it?
The danger is that Bambi will get desperate and start a war or something.
Sending Biden down should help.....NOT. LOL!
“The danger is that Bambi will get desperate and start a war or something.”
Hollywood has the “obama found Obama and killed him” propaganda movie in November so that’s supposed to help him..
Obama, A$$elrod, et al., be afraid, be very afraid. My sister lives in Fl.
1. She is lying to the Polls. She claims she loves Obama and will vote for him.
2. 100% of the people she knows who voted for Obama WILL NOT VOTE him this time around.
3. 100% of the youth vote, that she is aware of, who could not vote in 2008 is voting for ABO come November.
Obama be afraid, be very afraid. : )

Hopefully it will be so come November 2012.
With the amount of retirees living down here this does not surprise me. We all see what is going on, and we all know what life was like 50 years ago. I think those of us who are blessed with wisdom know a snow job when we see it. We are not going into this blind like most of the younger voters who vote with their emotions.
Someone tell the people on FR. They need a clue.
>> the jaw-dropping 14-point gap is a shocker
No kidding!
Not that I’m disappointed, but I am skeptical. Who the heck is “Foster McCollum White & Associates, Baydoun Consulting and Douglas Fulmer & Associates”?
$64,000 question: How much “coat tails” will this have for the house/senate seats?
In fairness, have you talked to known Dems/former Obama voters? If yes, that is comforting.
I’ve never remotely heard of this polling outfit before, and based on previous experience with completely unknown pollsters, I’m extremely dubious of this.
Boy, whatever happened to Mason-Dixon? They were really reliable but they hardly ever seem to release polls anymore.
“does anyone know anyone who’s going to vote for Obama?
I don’t.”
I’m in MA and know quite a few that are voting for Obama,including a couple of my own kids.
.
The Sunshine State will go solidly for Romney/Ryan.
Count on it.
I am 97.0347228 correct in my predictions.
(I'm quite serious).

Sad but true.
The randomly chosen people are asked their preferences BEFORE the pollster knows what their party affiliation might be. That comes later.
It ain't 50/50 ~ not even in Free Republic ~ at the moment Conservatives here are outnumbered by the other side(s) ~ you'all need edumacated or somethin',
We have been asked to tend to that later.
It's coming.
I know this is not very scientific, but in my little world of 12 co-workers; 6 voted for Obama in 2008 - 4 of those will definitely NOT for him again.

Add a few of my Florida buddies as supporters to the mix (to quote Carl from ATHF: “Stone cold lock of the day”)

” The GOP is going to take the Senate and R&R are going to win in a landslide.”
Maybe , but we have to find a way to KEEP the majority in both Houses for the forseeable future . Not much good if we are going to hand it back to the left in 4 or 8 years . Been that route time and time again .
Yep. I hear people singing the praises for Obamacare every day in the Philadelphia area.
No, its release was pushed until December. And supposedly Obama is not seen in the movie at all, so that would make it hard for it to be an Obama propaganda piece I think. Kathryn Bigelow is a serious, quality-oriented director, with an anti-war bias to be sure, but not at the expense of making a realistic film. I expect this one to be a serious war and strategy film like her K19: The Widowmaker was. She's probably the best female director of action films that's ever existed.

When Mark Boal, the writer was given sensitive information that no civilian is supposed to see, that is a definite no-no to me..regardless of Bigelow’s pedigree.

1) Bring God back into this country
2) Secure the border and STOP illegal immigration
3) Require voters to show ID
4) Cleanse the voter rolls
5) Grow the economy by incentivizing small business with lower taxes and less regulation
6) Scrap the tax code
5) Bring God back into this country
No surprise but great news!
“I know this is not very scientific, but in my little world of 12 co-workers; 6 voted for Obama in 2008 - 4 of those will definitely NOT for him again.”
And here’s the really important thing about this and other anecdotal reports like it: people will be talking to each other about this. Maybe not to strangers, but to those they are close to at work and family. And they’ll be discussing why they changed their minds about voting for Obama again. And folks that haven’t yet made up their minds, particularly those who are thinking about switching, will be listening.
I urge everyone on FR to use the soft sell to anyone they know who is open to an honest discussion. Engage people. Ask what they are thinking, and then gently seize on any doubts and subtly interject facts and statistics to buttress those doubts. For sure, do not waste any time at all with Obamabots. Spend your time only where it might make a difference.
Dick Morris has hinted of seeing internals from an un-named firm, hush-hush-bla-bla-bla, that Romney is doing fine etc in his estimation... I wonder if these are the guys...
If this is,in any way,indicative of the nation in general this is great news.But IMO Florida is a special case and even a huge swing like this there might not be great news nationally.There are about 10 key states this year,Florida being just one...but granted it’s an important one.
Yup. And then things get nasty. Obastard isn’t going to give up power nicely...
People whose polls are usually only seen by insiders...
Good advise!
>> People whose polls are usually only seen by insiders...
Oh! Is that right? These are INSIDE pollsters?
Are you sure? Any supporting evidence?
(I’m not calling you out or anything... just interested.)
Well, that’s still a significant change.
This is 'the guy':

You need to add:
8) Greatly reduce legal immigration - ending all illegal immigration tomorrow would still leave a million-plus pro-Democrat legal immigrants per year. To avoid demographic destruction, the GOP must end mass immigration.
I wonder what method these insiders' polls use that makes them more reliable than Rasmussen or Mason-Dixon, for example?
Perhaps you know them better as
FMCW&A,BCDF&A /sarc>

Cheers!
If it seems like an outlier, it probably is an outlier. If Barry thought he was down double-digits in Florida, he’d be living there.
ROFLMAO!
We don’t like Bambi here. I live in the only county McGovern carried in Florida, home of UF. Will be interesting to see if Bambi takes it this year but no way he takes Florida. It is permeating like 1980 which I remember very clearly.
