3. Florida is in play, but

this survey was commissioned by David Axelrod's son.

5. So? You mean David Axelrod

The guy who was on the money two weeks ago with the state of the race when Dems were busy changing their underwear on an hourly basis?

Gotta love Dems. Just because it's an Axelrod, the poll must be biased. Maybe, just maybe, their trying to show the ACTUAL state of the race that the GOP flood of pollsters left out.

No that can't be it. Let me guess, you have your own inner pollster meter that says you 'feel' it's somewhere in between.

Gotta love Dems.

6. Seriously, you don't think Axelrod's son producing a poll

in the slightest suggests a house effect?

[Maximumnegro]

9. Why would it? Just because?

And how would you calculate that house effect? Maybe it's .2 or .5? 3pts?

This is just more negative Dem thinking, an excuse to be 'cautious' and 'realistic' even though there is nothing to actually support that.

Like I said, maybe this poll is an attempt to show what the CAMPAIGN is seeing on the ground. Why is that harder to believe than they are just biased?

Take a look at the Cook Report. This poll falls right in at the top projection for Obama.

7. Florida's status

I can feel the momentum shifting here; I haven't heard anything from my pro-Romney friends and the Romney people that come to pick up his signs and other collateral material at his warehouse don't seem as chipper this week. Two different Obama headquarters called me this week for help so I don't think Obama has given up on Florida and for good reason.
