Florida Decides Poll: Obama, Romney in dead heat

fwiw:

ORLANDO --

Florida may have voted for Barack Obama in 2008, but the sitting president will have a tight race on his hands if he wants a repeat in November.

In our exclusive Florida Decides Poll, Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are in a virtual dead heat in Florida, with Obama getting 46 percent of the vote and Romney getting 45 percent. Another 2 percent say they plan to vote for libertarian Gary Johnson and 7 percent remain undecided at this time.

Obama is currently struggling with overall job approval. Half of the people polled say they disapprove of the job he's doing: 50 percent to 46 percent who approve. The president even finds disapproval in his own party, with 15 percent of Florida Democrats saying they disapprove of Obama's job the past four years.

Fifty-four percent also say the country is on the wrong track, including nearly a quarter of Democratic voters, and many believe the man who ran on a campaign for change, isn't changing things for the better.

Fortunately Obama doesnt really need it to win. He has many other winning scenarios. Romney must win Florida to have any chance at all.
