Miami Herald Poll: Romney Up 51-44 In Florida; Obama Lead In South FL Drops

Brand new Miami Herald poll is bad news for Barack Obama and Broward Democrats. Mitt Romney leads Obama 51-44%. “Obama is now winning just one of the state’s five regions, liberal Southeast Florida. But he once led by 21 points here — now it’s down to 12 percentage points.

Old and young voters didn’t move very much. But middle-aged voters — the bulk of the Florida electorate — shifted almost 12 points in Romney’s favor.

Romney even started to gain more support from Hispanic voters, who moved 11 points in Romney’s favor.

The majority of the electorate, non-Hispanic white voters, were always in Romney’s corner. Now they’re even more solidly behind the Republican, backing him 61-34 percent over Obama.”

The poll sampled likely voters across Florida. 44% Democrat, 40% Republican and 16% Independent.

Somewhere Mitch Ceasar(D-Comedian) is weeping.

The Miami Herald has endorsed Sheriff Al Lamberti. Perhaps the Herald will send out reporters to track down Scott Israel’s missing campaign treasurer’s report?

Here is the release from the Lamberti campaign:
Fla. – Sheriff Lamberti is honored to receive the endorsement from the Miami Herald for his re-election as Sheriff of Broward County in November.
The Miami Editorial Board expresses how, “Al Lamberti has led the Broward Sheriff’s Office with a steady hand during a challenging time of budget cuts and increased demand for his agency’s services.”
Since becoming Sheriff in 2007, the Board recognized how Sheriff Lamberti “has made laudable strides,” by instituting county wide crime prevention initiatives to make our streets safer, enhancing diversity among the agency by promoting African Americans, Hispanics, and Women to high ranking executive positions, and how he has ran a streamlined and efficient public safety agency.
Sheriff Lamberti’s commitment and strong leadership over the largest multi service fully accredited public service agency in the nation has also earned him several additional endorsements from:
