Obama Leads in Florida

A new Time/CNN/Opinion Research poll in Florida shows President Obama leading Mitt Romney by four points among likely voters, 50% to 46%.

"Obama's edge in Florida is bolstered by women voters, among whom he's beating Romney, 54%-42%, and by nonwhite voters, with whom he boasts a 70%-29% advantage. There are signs the incumbent is stitching together the same demographic coalitions that helped him capture Florida's 29 electoral votes four years ago."

More details on the poll are available in the CNN/Time Convention Floor Pass app.

1. If we win Florida, it's over.

No reasonable path to 270 for Romney without Florida.

2. +1. And Obama is currently ahead in RCP average in CO, WI, OH, VA, and IA. n/t

3. Yup

I was trying to show Romney's best case scenario if he loses Florida. He loses even under his best case scenario, which is a stretch anyway.

5. The Bush/Cheney 'Heartland' approach is crumbling at the edges...

It should be obvious from the maps that the GOP needs a new strategy (read: change some of their positions!) if they are to remain viable.

7. If the demographics favor Obama in Florida, they're damn sure going to favor him in Colorado

and Nevada too.

Romney needs every single swing state. Obama only needs a few.

4. K&R

6. What the hell is wrong with white men?
