Poll: Romney leads Obama in Florida by 7 points

[toomuchtime_]

Mitt Romney has opened up a 7-point lead over President Barack Obama in Florida—yet more proof that last week's presidential debate may have been a game changer for the Republican nominee's campaign.

A new Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald/Bay News 9 poll found Romney leading Obama 51 percent to 44 percent among likely Florida voters. That's a major shift from last month when the two contenders were statistically tied in the state.

According to the poll, 5 percent of previously undecided and 2 percent of Obama backers moved to Romney's corner after the debate, while another 2 percent of Obama supporters now say they are undecided.

AMEN! IF God chooses to give America a second chance, Obama will be heading back to his muslim brethren ... soon.

Flordia...not a good state to lose.

Single source fail.

RCP averages have Romney @ +1.4, WELL within the margin of error.

Aside from that this FL MH poll has been leaning Romney almost the whole election season.

But Romney can't win without Ohio and still has to overcome the 47% that will not vote for him. Florida is a non issue.
