New poll released this morning:

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/institutes-and-centers/polling-institute/florida/release-detail?ReleaseID=1695

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney runs even with President Barack Obama 45 - 45 percent in Florida, while the president holds a strong 50 - 39 percent lead over former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Today's results compare to a 46 - 43 percent Romney lead over Obama January 11 and a 47 - 40 percent Romney lead September 22.

The big difference between Romney and Gingrich in the November matchup is among independent voters, who support Romney against President Obama more than they back Gingrich against Obama, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum trails Obama 49 - 40 percent while Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul trails the president 47 - 39 percent.

"But Romney has his own problems against Obama as Florida voters say both men are equally competent, but 54 - 39 percent that the president is more inspiring, 50 - 43 percent that Obama would a better job in a crisis and 48 - 42 percent that Obama cares more about them."
