A new poll released late Tuesday shows President Obama with a slim advantage over Mitt Romney in the critical battleground state of Florida, suggesting that the state is not slipping away from the GOP nominee, as another survey last week suggested.
Obama leads Romney in the poll, conducted by the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston for Miami-based WSVN-TV, 48 percent to 45 percent. Three percent of likely voters chose one of the 10 other candidates on the ballot, each of whom was offered to respondents as an option. Four percent were undecided. Obama's lead is within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

RULES.... What is the D/R/I breakdown of this poll?
Florida is a must-win state, one that Obama nearly lost in 2008.
Poll ping.
I looked for the breakdown and this is the best I could do:

Uhh....Yeah...uh huh.
What the poll won’t mention.
Aug Totals Compared to 2008 (Official Florida Div of Election Site).
Party Affiliation:
Republicans Lost 45,519
Dems Lost 248,407
As a side note: Polls show Romney up by 12% with Indies. In Florida that translates to over 700,000 vote advantage. McCain lost by 200,000 and was a lousy candidate. So we are suppose to believe that with the dems losing 250,000 voters and less enthusiasm they will still win?
The party ID was D +5 (Dem 42, Rep 37, Ind 21). This compares to 2008 of D +3 (Dem 37, Rep 34, Ind 29) and 2004 of R +4 (Dem 37, Rep 41, Ind 23
D-247
R-214
I-141
Gee.....seems lots of polls are TIGHTENING up now....how predictable is that!
Romney is winning among Independents. Undersampling Indy’s also keeps Romney’s total artificially low.
Well, those numbers boil down to the usual Democrat + 6 oversampling
D-41%
R-35%
I-24%
“Gee.....seems lots of polls are TIGHTENING up now....how predictable is that!”
Wait till after the debate. Buckwheat will be up 12 points, and that will mortify conservatives even more This is all psy-op propaganda designed to depress the opposition.
Would it be racist to say Obama has a razors edge lead?
Honestly, what is wrong with these stupid people???
Does this refer to Florida only votes or does it include Florida and New York votes?
I don’t remember where I read it, but Obama is pulling the lowest Jewish vote % since Carter.
I wonder why?
Suffolk is the bottom of the barrel in polling .
But then again Edward;s pollster under oath admitted all these polls were PURE Garbage and every campaign knows these facts and so do the polls firms cooking this crap.
