President 2012 Florida Poll Watch: Obama 46% Vs Romney 44% – Within the Margin of Error

March 31, 2011 /

According to the latest PPP Poll.

Job approval Vs Disapproval:

  • President Obama: 48% Vs. 47% (45% Vs. 49% in December 2010)

Favorable Vs. Unfavorable:

  • Mitt Romney – 39% Vs. 39%
  • Mike Huckabee – 40% vs. 39%
  • Jeb Bush – 44% Vs. 44%
  • Newt Gingrich 32% Vs. 48%
  • Sarah Palin – 32% Vs. 60%
  • Rudy Giuliani – 37% vs. 46%

Head to Head:

  • Obama – 46% Vs. Romney – 44%
  • Obama – 50% Vs. Huckabee – 43%
  • Obama – 50% Vs. Gingrich – 42%
  • Obama – 48% Vs. Bush – 44%
  • Obama – 48% Vs. Giuliani – 42%
  • Obama – 52% Vs. Palin – 39%

Fianlly, a good poll for Mitt Romney. But, Mike Huckabee is hanging in there and may give him pause as Huck decides whether to run or not.

Another disastrous poll for Sarah Palin (60% unfavorables) as she fades from being considered a serious candidate for the Presidency in 2012.

Interesting that former Florida Governor Jeb Bush does not do any better than Mitt Romney in this poll.

The GOP NEEDS to win Florida in order to beat President Obama in the Electoral College. It appears the tried and true candidates of Huckabee and/or Romney may very well provide the opportunity.
