Florida Presidential Poll: Florida's in play

[Life Long Dem]

"Statewide poll finds race a dead heat with six weeks to go in the campaign"

By William E. Gibson

Democrat Barack Obama has pulled virtually even with Republican John McCain to create a very competitive presidential race in Florida, a state considered crucial for Republicans to win the nationwide election.

Obama has overcome McCain's earlier advantage in the state to reach a statistical tie of 45 percent to 46 percent, according to a statewide poll of likely voters conducted last week for the Sun Sentinel and the Florida Times-Union. The 1-percentage-point difference is within the poll's margin of error.

"It's competitive, no question, and obviously the economy is the top issue," said Del Ali of Research 2000, an independent pollster who conducted the telephone survey.

"What took place on Wall Street this week helped Obama in Florida," Ali said. "His numbers went up with each day we polled. For him to win Florida, it's obviously important for the economy to stay the top issue."

1. Florida will be McCain's Verdun

Remember when Germany thought France would be bled in Verdun and forced to surrender? (For those who were alive when that glorious slaughter took place).

Well, France basically managed to sacrifice most of her brave men than Germany (which is easier when the press lies of course), and eventually Germany had to quit.

Same thing. $39 million in the copher presentally dedicated to this, and we'll bring more if we need.

We will win Florida. And that's where McCain would have benefited from Lieberman. I have talked to a few Florida Jews I know and they're more and more seriously considering voting for Obama. Some were Hillary bots who could not see themselves voting for Obama, often for racist reasons.

3. It's a republican community

Palin has injected excitement into the campaign for many voters, including numerous at The Villages, which is a reliably Republican community of nearly 70,000 retirees.

4. And even then, I don't buy every single citizen in the town showed up.

They took the town's population and essentially said all came out for Palin.

BULLSHIT.

6. Palin has never attracted 70,000 in the total campaign

I agree with Hercules

[spinbaby]

7. 60,000 is the highest estimate I can find

Most press accounts limit themselves to "tens of thousands." This, in a retirement community that's known to be a reliable Republican stronghold. Very friendly audience.

[Hutzpa]

10. Nice name

60,000...ha!! WTG Spinbabe keep spining.

[grantcart]

8. The big news in this poll is that Obama has moved ahead in the 60+ age group

Here is also an amazing stat

Obama is more trusted on every issue except immigration.

[bigdarryl]

11. They have him only polling 88% for African Americans my prediction is he will get over 90% in FL.

and if that happens McSane is TOASTED!!!! in FL.
