Now...obama is pulling away with that 1.8 point lead.
And if Obama was losing you'd be gloating (again), so you can stop pretending that you care about 'facts'!

.
The only reason Rubio won his Senate seat was because there was a little known democrat and strong independent(former well liked governor Crist who suddenly turned Independent) running against him. This split the votes of the Dems and Indies. Rubio won the senate with 49% of the votes . Not even half the state chose him.

There you go, quoting "outliers" again (hey, now I see why 'wingers seem to love that word...)!

First of all, Crist was not a strong Indie, he was a turncoat republican.

Second, the dem vote (36%) split between Crist and Meek.

The Indie vote went 51% for Rubio, 10% for Meek and 38% for Crist.

Even IF Meek was not in the race, Crist loses because of Indies.

This isn't the only poll showing Obama has reclaimed the lead in Florida At least four other major polls show Obama leading in Florida. Obama can win Florida, lose all the other battleground states and still get re-elected.
