2. Oh yeah...We're definitely making them sweat FL

[VirginiaTarheel]

3. What was margin of their previous poll in FL?

[bluerum]

4. I hope they keep asking him about FEMA down there. Florida knows

hurricanes and the need for national scale disaster emergency assistance.

[coeur_de_lion]

9. yes we damn sure do

know hurricanes here. Without FEMA in 2004 we all would have been screwed. I hope this seals it for Florida for Obama.

8. This is a Democratic firm, so we have to keep that in mind, but I hope they are right

The Republicans deserve to lose Florida after their efforts in voter suppression this year.

Former Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer even admitted in a court deposition this Summer that Republicans 'have tried to suppress the black vote.

That story needs to get out into the media more!

10. look not trying to be a jerk....

but this poll is an outlier.... if it's true thats fafuggentastic!!! i would sure like to see Florida caalled early..

[VirginiaTarheel]

11. IF it is outlier, why do other recent polls say the same thing?

Including very recent PPP, Survey USA, Pharos, Grove Insight, and Zogby polls? Currently, Obama is ahead by +.2 percent in the Polltracker FL aggregate poll.

12. the reason i am sceptical.. is i follow Nate Silver at least marginally..

the other reason is the margin ohope you are right however of error of the selected polls.. hope you are right however

14. Silver Isn't The Only Aggregator In The World

Other aggregators with just as good a record have it as a toss up or a small O lead.

13. What Evidence Do You Have To Offer To Demonstrate The Poll Is An Outlier?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

[jenw2]

15. And the other four percent couldn't find the button?

Seriously, these polls are just nuts when they think that people will vote but not vote for President.
