The latest Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald poll of Florida has Mitt Romney with a 6-point lead over President Barack Obama 51-45. The poll of 800 likely voters was conducted by the Mason Dixon polling firm.
“I’m pretty convinced Romney’s going to win Florida,” said Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker, who conducted the 800-likely voter survey from Tuesday through Thursday.
“Will it be five points? Maybe. Will it be three points? Possibly,” Coker said, of what he expects Romney’s margin will be. “I don’t think it’s going to be a recount … I don’t think we’re going to have a recount-race here.”
Romney is winning handily among men, marginally losing with women voters and has outsized support among non-Hispanic whites. He’s essentially winning on the issues as well: the economy, Medicare, foreign policy and looking out for the middle-class.
Coker noted the poll results are essentially unchanged from last month, when Romney led by a point more after he crushed Obama in their first debate.
The October poll and this one, which have error margins of 3.5 percent, were conducted for The Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald as well as the Tampa Bay Times, Bay News 9 and Central Florida News 13.
When we look back on this election, we’ll likely see that the final major turning point in the campaign was Romney’s decisive victory in the first presidential debate- the clear majority of Florida polls taken subsequent to that debate have had Romney in the lead anywhere from three to seven points.
And folks, before you start popping the champagne corks or deciding that it’s not necessary to go vote, one word of advice for you- don’t.

Would love to have Romney win California too !!!!
Could be a big surprise for Obama…………….
looks like you need a new pollster. this poll also had karen harrington within 5%. what a joke. So basically everyone this bog supported LOST. what does that tell you
Thank God, it’s about time Floridians have figured this Obama bird out!He has been a loser since day one and continues his trashing of our great country. To say vote for “revenge” is down right irresponsible an un-American. When will the rest of the country figure out what these people are all about?
Presiden Romney will see to it that our nation becomes fiscally sound once again and Washington will serve us not the other way around. Our states should have the ability to govern themselves where we make the local decisions. Too much of our money is being sent down the rat hole and it will be stopped under a new leadership. VOTE a straight R ticket….Thank you.

This story, and many others from Shark, is looking very dubious now that the election is over. Can’t sugarcoat this debacle anymore. Reps better change their strategy. Conservatives better get more involved in the university system because those institutions are becoming factories of liberal indoctrination, our future voters. Republicans need to put more focus on winning in the Blue states instead of ceding long time Dem strongholds. And Reps better find candidates that excite the base rather than candidates with records of compromise.
YOU DUMBASSES LOST! SUCK IT RE SUCK LI CON S. YOU WILL SUCK IT AGAIN IN 4 YEARS. WEST IS GONE, JOE WALSH IS GONE, MOURDOCK, AKIN, voMITT & YOUR OTHER SHITHEADS TOO. GO BACK TO THE 18TH CENTURY.
