Talk Elections

One respondent, that is.

So Romney has to hope the polls are wrong or under estimating his support in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado and  Ohio and to some extent Pennsylvania and/or Wisconsin to win. Not really a great place to be 24 hours before the voting begins.

Pretty crazy... Mason-dixon has been good in Florida so it's strange to see such a wide spread between them (+6 for Romney) and so many others... regardless, someone is going to look bad Tuesday night.

Florida is going to be a tough one to predict.

It's basically a tie for statistical purposes but I'm probably gonna go with Romney in FL for my final map.

Su-su-surging!  :D

I would be very surprised if it doesn't go to Romney.  In 2004 RCP had FL at Bush +0.6, and the actual result was Bush +5.0  Rubio and Scott also underpolled in 2010.  Obama 2008 was right on the mark while he underpolled in most other states.  Cuban Republicans are likely under-represented in polling.

Mason Dixon is an excellent pollster.....but every other poll seems to show a closer race. I still think Romney wins FL.......but it may be very close.

Romney will probably win, but it is certainly not 'in the bank' for him. If it were, he wouldn't be headed back for one more visit in Monday (and to VA too)

Their last Florida poll was terrible because it made no sense, I guess I'll have to wait to see the internals.

The Senate, numbers check out, 51-46 Nelson. If anything, it seems a bit generous to Mack.

Hmm, shouldn't this be added more like a tie, rather than a 1-point lead for Obama ?

Obama leads by 1 poll respondent, that doesn't justify a 1% poll lead.

Maybe it does when everything is re-weighed.

Maybe it's like 49.55 to 49.45.

Romney winning whites by 19% and losing Hispanics by 6%....probably equals a 2 or 3 point win on election day.

I entered the poll exactly as PPP reported it.

Turnout in Florida's apparently a sight for sore eyes (my best friend is working with the Obama campaign in Palm Beach County; I really miss her), but I'd say a 2-point Romney win sounds about right, sadly.

Right, it's because of rounding

473 Obama = 49.53% = 50%
472 Romney = 49.42% = 49%
10 Others = 1.05% = 1%

Even good pollsters should have occasional outliers.  (For example, that Pew national poll a few weeks ago that had Romney+7.)  So it could be that M-D had an outlier.  It also could be that they haven't adapted well to the cellphone era.  We'll see.

I really don't want this to be a long night.

I think M-D had one previously that showed Romney up by 6, which is probably too large. 

If Florida goes to President Obama, then maybe the Spanish-language ad that the political ad that attempts to link President Obama to Hugo Chavez and (through the dictator's niece Mariela) Fidel Castro backfired.  If nothing else happens as a result of this election, then such could show the necessity of integrity in campaigning.

Basically, do not lie.

Junk poll from Putrid Propagand Polling!

They polled all the moochers and welfare queens while leaving out good white Americans, real Americans.
