More Mason-Dixon. If Romney was up 6 he wouldn't have been in Miami on Thursday!

Yeah, he's probably up, but if he were really up 6, he would be treating this state like NC.

M-D sure better hope they're the one right in a ton of wrong on this one. The only other pollster to ever show such a lead in FL? You guessed it: M-D, 10/10. Rassy, Angus Reid and Susq, who just released the laughable PA poll, had shown in mid month R+5. 22 other polls never showed more than R+3, and since the 27th, Obama has lead 6/11 polls run, with Romney's biggest lead being Gravis' R+3.


 Take all of this as you will.

Must have mis-polled the support for pulling out amongst the office.

Yeah right, because Romney is so popular in FL he can pull that out for him. Get real.

despite the D+412 polls that inflate Obama in florida, Romney has led here for quite some time. Maybe not +6 as M&D says, but by at least 3. He will win the state

Yeah, what happened? Did they decide they'd rather keep pushing out Republican-favored results?

This is interesting and obviously pretty good news for Mittster.  Florida was starting to drift back to toss up status (from Romney's side), so they've got to be pleased to see this.  Mason Dixon is a reliable source, as well.

We're seeing a similar polling phenomenon in Florida and North Carolina. In both states, most of the polls are showing the race as a tie, with a one point or so advantage for either candidate. But then a small number of polls, again in both states, are showing Romney up by 5 or 6 points. But there are no polls showing a result in between. Strange.

This means that the right approach is to average out all polls showing NC and FL tied, then to separately average out all polls showing Romney lead and finally to make an average of the previous two averages.

Mason Dixon always shows huge, outlier GOP leads then suddenly starts showing the results others are showing. I guess they are just skipping that step this time.

If there is anything that demonstrates how different assumptions yield different results, it is Marist vs Mason Dixon in FL.

What % white is the MD sample? Florida is almost guaranteed to have a decreasing white % each cycle, although how much is always a question.

It did increase by 1% in 2008 if you believe the exit polls.

No, it's where you largely distrust the poll because it doesn't come close to connecting with 95% of the polls we've seen.

Mason Dixon stopped polling. The Florida Poll did not. M/D got paid.

Romney isn't in a position where he can hold campaign events that only serve to boost Senatorial candidates.
