From Rasmussen Reports:


Mitt Romney now has swung back into the lead in the first post-debate survey of the presidential race in Florida.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Florida Likely Voters shows Romney with 49% of the vote to Obama’s 47%. Three percent (3%) are undecided at this point.

Florida's an important state.

I'm a PA voter and if Obama is highly likely to take PA, I'm voting Johnson.

Florida is key.

And from reports they are going to get tough on "marginal votes", which means the Hispanic vote won't be as solid.

Obama has cooked it with the Jewish vote.....even the left will sit this one out. The 1967 borders thing killed him there.

I think Romney will take Florida.

The central problem, of course, is that "the Hispanic vote" is not a monolith; and the Cuban-American vote, specifically--which is a rather large portion of the Hispanic vote in Florida--tends to go Republican. (Admittedly, not as much so as it did in previous years; those who are still alive, and who can remember fleeing Cuba during or after 1959, are much more likely to be conservative voters than their descendants are, half-a-century later.)

It never fails to surprise me how much more you know about American politics than most Americans.

Notice that if Obama has the lead it's never called slight.

A new poll of likely voters, commissioned by the Miami Herald and the Tampa Bay Times, shows Gov. Romney ahead in Florida by seven percentage points, 51-44.

The new set of numbers "marks a dramatic 8-point shift since last month," according to a Miamai Herald article on the matter.

No wonder with these debate performances. Obama looks weak, and Biden looks unhinged.

Johnson lost in the primary, so you are voting for a loser and helping Obama. Pitiful!

Romney lost in the primary too...four years ago. He won this time around over a very weak field.

Losing in a system that rewards lying, cheating and serving special interests instead of the people's isn't such a bad thing. It's the winners we should be worried about.
