Title: FL-Mason Dixon/Telemundo/Leadership Florida/Florida Press Association: Scott+2 Post by: Tender Branson on September 07, 2014, 05:03:09 AM 43% Scott (R)
41% Crist (D) 4% Wylie (L) The survey of 625 likely voters was conducted Sept. 2-4, and Mason-Dixon cautioned that its sample reflects current voter registration in Florida (41 percent Democrat, 37 percent Republican, 21 percent other), and "does not assume a higher or lower turnout by either political party." Considering the Republican turnout is consistently at least 4 percentage points higher than Democrats in off-year elections, it's reasonable to assume Scott would have a higher lead if the sample reflected the likely voter turnout. Quote From Mason-Dixon's Brad Coker: Republican incumbent Rick Scott and Democratic challenger Charlie Crist remain locked in a tight race for governor, with Scott holding a narrow 43%-41% lead statewide among likely Florida voters. Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie draws 4%, while other candidates on the ballot get 1% and 11% remain undecided. The race was tied at 42%-42% in April. Scott runs strong in North Florida (54%-32%) and Southwest Florida (52%-32%) and has a smaller lead in Central Florida (44%-38%). Crist has a wide lead in Southeast Florida (50%-35%) and a smaller one in his home Tampa Bay region (45%-38%). Other results show that Scott continues to run stronger with Republicans, men, whites and voters over the age of 65. Crist leads among Democrats, women, blacks and voters under 35. Voters between the ages of 35 and 64 are about evenly divided. Hispanics (44%-39%) and Independents (40%-37%) lean slightly to Crist. The number of undecided voters in these groups is high. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/poll-rick-scott-43-charlie-crist-41/2196482 Title: Re: FL-Mason Dixon/Telemundo/Leadership Florida/Florida Press Association: Scott+2 Post by: Lief 🗽 on September 07, 2014, 09:35:53 AM > mason-dixon

Title: Re: FL-Mason Dixon/Telemundo/Leadership Florida/Florida Press Association: Scott+2 Post by: Devils30 on September 07, 2014, 09:45:20 PM Scott won whites by 15 in 2010 and most polls have him up by less this time. Odd that combined with demographic change some polls have him winning by more than 2010.

It's Mason-Dixon, the bastard child in the family of pollsters. Is this the first time Mason-Dixon has appeared since the 2012 election?
Title: Re: FL-Mason Dixon/Telemundo/Leadership Florida/Florida Press Association: Scott+2 Post by: Devils30 on September 07, 2014, 10:14:55 PM PPP is doing Florida this weekend so we should have a fairly reliable poll soon.

Other than itdoesn't support the finding many here wanted? Mason-Dixon is very, very bad. Are you saying that Crist is actually ahead? Say what you want about Mason-Dixon or any other pollster, but I don't think there is too much doubt that Scott probably does have a slim lead at this point. Title: Re: FL-Mason Dixon/Telemundo/Leadership Florida/Florida Press Association: Scott+2 Post by: Devils30 on September 08, 2014, 02:31:20 PM Mason-Dixon had Romney winning Florida by 6 in 2012, that is the mark of a bad pollster. 7 points off.
Title: Re: FL-Mason Dixon/Telemundo/Leadership Florida/Florida Press Association: Scott+2 Post by: Lief 🗽 on September 08, 2014, 03:11:06 PM Quote Mitt Romney will score a vital victory in Florida, a pollster for one of the state’s most influential newspapers confidently predicted Saturday after his latest survey gave the Republican challenger a six-point lead. “I’m pretty convinced Romney’s going to win Florida,” said Brad Coker who conducted the Mason-Dixon poll for the Miami Herald. “Will it be five points? Maybe. Will it be three points? Possibly. “I don’t think it’s going to be a recount … I don’t think we’re going to have a recount-race here.” Well at least he wasn't completely wrong. Title: Re: FL-Mason Dixon/Telemundo/Leadership Florida/Florida Press Association: Scott+2 Post by: DrScholl on September 08, 2014, 03:22:30 PM 7% off was pretty bad and it could call into question what sort of likely voter screen they are using. It's not an immature matter of Mason-Dixon being bad just because Crist isn't up, it's the fact that they were so wrong in a previous Florida poll. Not every poll is labeled bad simply for partisan reasons, some pollsters just have bad records....

Other than itdoesn't support the finding many here wanted? I've been thinking Crist will lose for a while now. So I could believe a 2 point lead for Scott. I just harbor animosity for Mason-Dixon's arrogance and stupidity from the 2012 election.
