David Plouffe on that bogus Mason/Dixon Florida Poll

Quote of the Day
"It's impossible for us to be at 44 in Florida."

-- Obama adviser David Plouffe, quoted by the Tampa Bay Times, on a new Mason-Dixon poll shows Mitt Romney leading in Florida, 51% to 44%.

No other poll of Florida even comes close to that. Some have Obama up and a few have Romney up, but by no more than a point or two.

1. agree

in most polls they're tied.

2. Now of course sometimes things like this can be spin . . .

That's a campaign's job afterall, BUT, Plouffe appears to be right.

The day before, Obama was (+4) and (+1) in 2 other Florida polls.

And this poll showed Romney winning Latinos over Obama by 7 points - also at odds with polling by Latino Decisions giving Obama a large lead with Latinos.

While Republicans do better with the Cuban-American vote, this poll appears to have some problems with its demographic sampling according to other reports I've seen.

6. The O campiagn is straightforward to a fault

So I believe him completely, especially if he used those words. Plouffe doesn't mince.

3. I'm hoping Joe moved some more seniors to the Obama side

He speaks for them. I hope they know that.

7. It was definitely an outlier.

expect more small republican pollsters to desperately try the same thing
as romney's numbers continue to slide.

8. The margin of error is outside the spread
