Florida: Obama Ahead by Three

Barack Obama now leads John McCain 50% to 47% in Florida, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey in the state.

This is the second straight October poll to show Obama with a modest advantage in Florida. That’s quite a change from September when five statewide polls found McCain ahead or tied each time.

Still, the latest polling shows a tighter race than the seven-point advantage enjoyed by Obama last Sunday.

Obama is supported by 87% of Democrats and holds a fifteen point advantage among unaffiliated voters. McCain gets the vote from 85% or Republicans. Obama leads among voters under 40, among those who earn less than $40,000 a year or more than $100,000, and among those who rarely or never attend church. McCain has the edge among those over 40, those who earn between $40,000 and $100,000 annually, and regular churchgoers.

1. And that's before everyone gets their quarterly 401 K report and

learns that McCain wants to slash Medicare!

2. How is Obama only winning by 3 if he is winning a higher percentage of his party and has a huge lead

with Independents?

4. Rasmussen must have shifted party ID in this poll. That's the only explanation.

Interesting.
