1. Well

It favored them in 12 by like 5 points and Obama still won I think we are doing well there

2. Romney was winning this by 10.

Obama won the state by .8.
So a small GOP lead now may be a 4 point win for HRC.

3. Each state is different.

In FL, republicans like to vote early and absentee.

4. Compared with 2012, we're doing better

So you need context

[Godhumor]

5. You realize that is much, much better than 2012, right? n/t

6. sigh

These rookie analyses are annoying.

What matters is how much it differs from previous elections.

7. Then why do all the media reports say that HRC is doing well in early voting in Florida?

because she is doing much better than Democrats usually have done.

[LisaL]

10. That's right. She is doing better than Obama in 2012 or 2008 in FL in terms of catching up.

"In Florida, more than 2 million voters have already returned ballots. In-person voting began Monday, and Democrats have pulled virtually even with Republicans, at 41 percent each. That’s a much faster rate of catch-up than in 2012 and 2008, when Barack Obama won the state."

8. It will be nice in four years...

When Florida turns blue to the point that this trend flips. It has been improving and this is better than 2012.

15. You seem rational...

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

9. Not all areas have begun to early vote yet...

I'm in Pasco county and we start on the 29th. There are I think 17 Florida counties that don't early vote until the 29th.

12. These are great numbers, with Dems behind by 0.5%, Obama was behind 10%
