Sorry OP. Looks like Obama blew his lead and PA is back in play.

ORLANDO --
A new, exclusive News 13 Florida Decides Poll shows a new leader in the presidential race and a significant shakeup of opinions among Floridians, with potential national ramifications.

The latest results, released Thursday, show Republican Mitt Romney with a 7-point lead over President Barack Obama.

When asked which ticket would get their vote if the general election were held today, 51 percent of the 800 registered Florida voters polled picked Romney, with 44 percent choosing Obama.

Another 1 percent chose Libertarian Gary Johnson or another third-party candidate, and 4 percent said they were still undecided.

The new numbers show a major change from our last Florida Decides Poll just three weeks earlier, when President Obama held the edge over Romney by just one percentage point.

So, why the sudden switch? The latest poll was taken just this week, Oct. 8–10, about a week after the first one-on-one debate between Romney and Obama.

The biggest change seen from September's poll to this month's were among women, Hispanics and voters who identify with neither major party.

In September, 51 percent of independent voters said they preferred President Obama, and 40 percent said they would vote for Mitt Romney.

Just three weeks later, that vote has flipped, with 52 percent supporting Romney and just 39 percent backing the president.

Among women polled a month ago, 55 percent said they would vote for Obama, and 40 percent for Romney.

Now, that gap has narrowed significantly, with just 49 percent of women choosing Obama, and 47 percent supporting Romney.
The Republican nominee also gained support among men, with a three-point gain to 56 percent, while votes for Obama dropped the same amount.
Four percent of both men and women said they were still undecided, and 1 percent of men chose a third-party candidate.
Breaking it demographically by race, Romney still held the majority of white voters, with 61 percent, while 94 percent of black voters said they support Obama.
The Hispanic vote, however, saw a noticeable shift, with many dropping their support for Obama.
