A new poll of Florida from Suffolk University shows President Obama with a 1 point lead over likely Republican nominee and former Massachusetts Gov.

The numbers also show what seems to be an enthusiasm gap for Romney as a candidate — when asked “Is your vote more a vote for Romney or against Democrat Barack Obama,” only 51 percent of Romney supporters said they were for the former Gov., with 49 percent saying they were just against the President. The split was 77 percent for Obama and 23 percent against Romney when the question was asked of Obama supporters.
