1. TPM:

Obama Leads By 3 Points In Florida

President Obama leads Republican nominee Mitt Romney 46 percent to Romney's 43 percent in a new poll of Florida from Suffolk University. From their analysis:

Romney continues to struggle with his likability. His 45 percent favorable rating is 3 points higher than in a survey the Suffolk University Political Research Center conducted in May; yet his unfavorable rating is also up 2 points, to 47 percent today.

Obama has been consistently more popular, with a 51 percent favorable and 46 percent unfavorable rating.

2. It's Odd

As in VA, Suffolk has African American participation down from 2008. In this instance it's down from 13% to 10% or 25% lower. In other words, this poll is as good as it gets for Romney.
