For a booming, prosperous state, why is Florida such a mess when it comes to elections?

Some good poll numbers tonight from ABC/WaPo...

dailykos.com

ABC/WaPo: O 49/ R 46 LV

It's 50-43 in favor of Obama among registered voters, and 51-46 in favor of Obama among likely voters in swing states (Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin).

Some interesting details too:

Other fundamentals — many of them more challenging for Romney — remain in place. He’s still very broadly seen as likely to favor the wealthy and as not having offered enough details about his polices. He’s even with — but not ahead of — Obama in trust to fix the economy, and in the expectation it’ll improve under his leadership.Romney’s weaker than Obama in ratings of honesty and trustworthiness, and continues to trail in economic empathy and personal likeability alike, the latter by a 2-1 margin. Romney’s about even with Obama on two other attributes, strong leadership and — fundamental to their campaign arguments — having a better sense of the right size and role of government.
