Democratic pollster: Obama +5 in Florida; Jeb Bush Strongest VP Pick for Romney
Post On Politics ^ | April 17th, 2012 | George Bennett

President Obama holds a 50-to-45 percent lead over Mitt Romney in Florida, according to a new poll from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling.

PPP also tested four potential Florida running mates for Romney — Sen. Marco Rubio, former Gov. Jeb Bush, Gov. Rick Scott and U.S. Rep. Allen West — and found that only Bush would have a positive effect on the GOP ticket in Florida.

A Romney/Bush ticket would narrow Obama’s advantage to 49-46, within the poll’s 3.7 percent margin of error. The survey of 700 Florida voters was taken Thursday through Sunday.

The Obama/Joe Biden ticket holds a 50-43 lead over Romney/Rubio, a 51-40 advantage over Romney/Scott and a 50-40 lead over Romney/West.

PPP’s last Florida polls testing Obama vs. Romney showed the president with a 1-point lead in December and September.

” Democratic pollster”..........when do the RATS ever tell the truth??? They continually try to deflate our optimism, just as they did with Reagan.

Gogogodzilla, good post. Your vote is critical in Florida.

I would encourage you to not leave the presidential portion blank, and instead hold your nose and vote for Romney. What good will it be to hold the House, possibly take the Senate, and then leave Obama in place to veto the legislation that is sent to the President? Also, an Obama Supreme Court pick will be around for a long time.

This is too important NOT to try.

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.

This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.

******************

Yes, momentous and profound decisions like this:

(A) Comrade Vochenko “The Party is the Light of the State!”

OR

(B) Comrade Chenkovo “The Light of the State is the Party!”

Yea right, Obama won Florida by 2.5% in 2008. However, he has done such a wonderful job, his lead has now doubled.

You have to remember PPP HAS to suck up to the Democrats to get work. After yesterday's Pew survey showing Obama down an amazing TWENTY POINTS among Catholics (no Democrat has EVER lost the Catholic vote and won the general election - ever)everything else including Bull Shiite “polls” like this are moot.

This is what I would do if there was a candidate I can really support and vote FOR (Sarah Palin, Sarah Steelman, Allen West, Deb Fischer, etc.,).

1. Vote

2. Hold signs in the designated “legal zone” near voting stations (or before an election at a street corner)

3. March in parades

4. Canvass the precincts (I’ve been doing this for the past few weeks)

5. Promote the candidate via Facebook, Twitter, and “letters to the editor”

6. Defend said candidate in the major political websites

7. Open up my check book

8. Distribute fliers/materials at major events

9. Attend seminars (Freedom Works or AFP) to increase my skill base

10. Attend various political events and functions to show support

11. Blog

12. Man an information booth at civic events

13. Recruit new members

14. Seek allies in various conservative groups (TP, county GOP, 9/12, etc.,)

If it’s a candidate that’s the “lesser of the two evils”, I might vote but that’s about it.

I’ll tell you this much, if Mitt picks Jeb Bush then all bets are off.

Picking Jebbie will make it even harder for some of us to pull the Romney lever, or shade his oval, whatever your state has.

State-approved, yes, but also approved by the uninformed Republican primary voters!

You’d be surprised how easy it is to fool millions of Floridians. That’s why I fear jury selection for George Zimmerman.

Jeb as VP would guarantee that we wouldn’t see another Bush as a P for eight more years. Silver lining!
