Romney Ahead in Florida

A new Quinnipiac poll of registered Florida voters, which had Romney tied with Obama at the beginning of May, now has Romney ahead by six points: 47-41.  Romney leads with independents 44-36.

This could be troubling news for the president's reelection plans.  Florida is a very incumbent-friendly state.  No president since Calvin Coolidge has won reelection without winning Florida, too.
