Florida registers by party and there are slightly more voters registered as Democrats than there are Republicans -- 41% to 37%, but 19% are independents. Three percent said they are registered in a minor party. So far, over two million voters have already voted for their candidate in the Sunshine State. There is good news for both candidates among those who voted early – some of the demographic groups appear to be benefitting both candidates. They are: More Democratic and Republican, less independents, women, older voters, voters with a college degree or more, households with less than $40,000, white households with earnings less than $50,000, conservatives, conservative Republicans, voters who think of themselves as part of the religious right, and voters living in the northern part of the state (which is heavily Republican). The uncommitted voters are declining as we get closer to the election. Eight percent of likely voters (9% of registered voters) said they were either still undecided about voting for a candidate or they may change their mind and vote for someone else.More than nine out of ten voters are certain they are going to vote for their candidate and more than nine out of 10 Obama and McCain supporters are certain of their candidate.
The vote: Among likely voters living in Florida, 50% are backing Obama, while 43% are supporting McCain. (Among registered voters, it is 50% to 42%). When all five candidates were mentioned, Obama takes an 11 point lead among likely voters and an eight point lead among registered voters.
