Florida poll: 3rd party candidates hurt Romney more than Obama.
Why aren't all the polls including Gary Johnson and other candidates in their polling?
They will be on many state ballots; so how can the polls get an accurate count if they don't include all the candidates voters will be choosing among?
In Florida, according to a CNN poll, Romney is hurt when 3rd party candidates are included among the choices.

But in a troubling sign for the Republican nominee, his lead in Florida slips into a dead heat when third-party candidates, including Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson, are added into the poll. And among all registered voters — not just those expected to vote — the present (sic) owns a 52-46 percent advantage.
The CNN poll of Florida was released the same day as a survey from Democratic pollster Public Policy Polling that gave Obama a single-point advantage in the state, by a 49-48 percent margin. But Republicans remained optimistic about their prospects in the state, noting that many voters had made up their minds — and voted early — over the past few weeks, as Romney led in the state. Of those likely voters surveyed in the CNN poll, 94 percent said they had made up their mind.
