New CNN Poll: Obama, Romney Statistically Tied in Florida
Submitted by Nancy Smith on October 19, 2012 - 5:39pm
A just-out CNN/ORC poll of likely voters in Florida shows President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney statistically tied once again.
The race has been wandering back and forth between red and blue here in the Sunshine State for the past month.
The Florida survey, conducted after the second presidential debate and with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, showed 49 percent of likely voters supporting Romney, compared with 48 percent for Obama.
With only about three weeks to go, both candidates are campaigning hard for the state's 29 Electoral College votes, votes that could be -- as predicted -- crucial to securing victory in November.
