OF THE PRESS RELEASE

Obama leads Romney and Paul by only a point in Florida

Raleigh, N.C. In what has been perpetually one of the closest and most important states
in the last few presidential elections, President Obama now leads two of his potential
opponents by only a single point. The leader in the Florida primary, per yesterdays
release, Mitt Romney trails only 46-45, up from 47-43 in June. The surprise is the other
candidate breathing down his neck: Ron Paul, who lags only 45-44.
Obamas approval rating in Florida has declined a little since PPP last polled the state
three months ago. Then, voters about broke even on him, with 48% approving and 49%
disapproving. That is now a 46-51 spread. Michele Bachmanns favorability has shifted
29 points in the wrong direction since the previous poll. In June, 36% saw her favorably
and 37% unfavorably. That is now 26-56, making her narrowly the least popular of the
Republicans, followed closely by Newt Gingrich (28-57) and Rick Perry (29-58). Paul
stands at 31-51, with Romney by far the best-liked of the GOP bunch, at 40-46, down
slightly from 41-45 in June. Perry, Gingrich, and Paul were not tested then.
Despite Bachmanns personal slide being much greater than the presidents, she has only
gained on him. Obama led her, 49-40, when she was first bursting onto the scene, but she
now trails only 49-44actually closer than Perrys and Gingrichs respective 50-43 and
50-42 deficits.
By a 42-49 margin, voters disapprove of the presidents handling of Israel, but Jewish
voters approve, 61-31. Only a quarter of voters think Social Security is a Ponzi scheme,
and 63% disagree.
Florida makes it pretty clear that out of the two Republican front runners theres one
who can beat Barack Obama and one who cant, said Dean Debnam, President of Public
Policy Polling. Theres no way the GOP wins next year without Florida, and it doesnt
look like Rick Perry can do that.
PPP surveyed 476 Florida voters from September 22nd to 25th. The margin of error for the
survey is +/-4.5%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political
organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is
a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times
found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican
candidates.
