Poll: Presidential Race Tied Up In Florida, Obama Up Big Among Early Voters

Source: TPM

President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney are completely tied in Florida, according to the latest automated poll from SurveyUSA.

The poll shows Obama and Romney each earning the support of 47 percent of likely Sunshine State voters, while the president claims commanding leads among early voters.

Fifty-seven percent of Florida voters who said they have already cast a ballot did so for the president, compared with 42 percent who indicated they have already voted for Romney. Obama also leads by 10 among those who intend to vote early, while Romney holds a 13-point lead among voters who plan to wait for Election Day.

And since this is an automated poll and doesn't call cell phones unless given specific permission

it's almost certainly undercounting Obama supporters.

5. Bad, Bad news for Team Elephant

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if FL goes blue, Romnesia is screwed, even if he manages to steal Ohio, he's toast.

8. Yes, all of his chances depend on winning FL.

If we take Florida, then Romney could win all the following states and still have only 266:
NC, VA, CO, OH, WI, NH, IA.

He has absolutely no chance without Florida.

6. If the numbers are accurate, that probably gives Romney a narrow win

If the voters were divided 25/25/50 for already voted / planning to early vote / plan to vote on Tuesday then Romney would win by 0.5%.

7. How is that tied?

Another BS misleading headline. Obama leads by a substantial margin among early voters. Where are the Repubes gonna make up the difference? On election day? I think not. Headline should read Obama has a commanding lead. I'm fed up with the "close race" BS from the MSM. It's a lie and always has been.

10. If it is close the GOP can steal it.

But I question the poll too....just did a search for this polling company...it operates out of a strip office building in NJ...and probably a one man operation....but we give it credence?
