Quote:

Analysis: “Sen. McCain lost ground since our last survey in Florida among males and independents. Adding to current concerns for Sen. McCain in this survey is that nearly 20% of African-American respondents tell us they are voting for McCain. This is usual for our surveys of states in the Southeast and we almost always see the African-American column collapse to the Democrat by the last week of the race. This means that there is more potential downside for McCain. On the other side, independents in Florida usually break for the Republican. At current the independent vote is very close between the two candidates. If McCain recaptures independents, he can turn Florida around in a hurry. “ Matt Towery
