Quote:
The key to Florida remains the Tampa Bay region, where Obama currently holds a 48%-44% advantage. The other regions of the state fall into their generally predictable patterns, with Obama holding a wide 61%-33% lead in Southeast Florida and McCain running ahead in North Florida (58%-37%), Central Florida (51%-43%) and Southwest Florida (55%-40%).Obama runs stronger among Democrats, women, those under 50, blacks and those who have never served in the military, while McCain is stronger with men, Republicans, those over 50, whites and military veterans. Obama has a 50%-41% lead among independent voters, while McCain has a 49%-44% among Hispanic & Cuban voters.
Interesting, despite the fact that he trails, McCain has a higher favorable rating with Florida voters than Obama (47%-46%) and Obama’s negatives have increased slightly over the past two weeks.
