Romney holds edge in Florida polls ahead of debate October 22, 2012, 1:46 PM Reuters Mitt Romney holds a slight edge over Barack Obama in polls of Florida voters as the two prepare for their third and final presidential debate on Monday night, to be held at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. The topic is foreign policy and the audience is national but Obama and Romney will be trying very hard to appeal to undecided Sunshine State voters as well. With 29 electoral votes, Florida is one of the biggest prizes in November, and losing it complicates the path to victory for either man. In a RealClearPolitics average of polls through Oct. 18, Romney leads Obama by about two points. In a campaign largely dominated by the economy, foreign policy issues have crept up as the election draws closer. Those include the Obama administration’s handling of a deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the prospect of direct U.S. talks with Iran. Monday’s debate will cover topics including the rise of China, the Middle East and terrorism, and America’s role in the world. Polls suggest the pressure is most intense on Obama to perform. Monday’s Gallup poll of likely voters shows Romney with a six-point lead nationwide. –Robert Schroeder
