Gravis Marketing impersonating a poll company again. Has Obama's No.s way down.

The obvious sign that their polls may be skewed is in reference to Obama:

"It found Floridians unhappy with President Barack Obama, giving him an approval rating of just 38 percent, and a disapproval rating of 53 percent."

In fact, the paper seemed to confirm it:

"Gravis Marketing is non-partisan, though the poll skewed toward a slightly-larger Republican sample than the Florida electorate."

Other paragraphs worth noting:

"The poll also put Republican incumbent Gov. Rick Scott and former Republican-turned-Democratic challenger Charlie Crist in a dead heat with 37 percent each, with 26 percent undecided."

and

"We see a high amount of undecided voters. Money will me critical. The question is: will young people and minorities turn out? Based on the primary and 1 percent turnout at UCF [in last week's primary,] the answer is no, and Scott gets re-elected," said Gravis president Doug Kaplan. "Medical marijuana most likely passes. Will be closer then some people think. Hillary performs better against Rubio then bush. I think either will be formidable."
