Florida, the decisive state in Election 2000 us a toss-up for Election 2004.

The latest Rasmussen Reports Florida survey finds Senator John F. Kerry with 47% of the vote to President George W. Bush's 45%. A month ago, Kerry held a 48% to 43% advantage. Two months ago, the candidates were tied in Florida with both Bush and Kerry attracting 46% of the vote.

A month ago, we moved Florida to "Leans Kerry" category in our Electoral College projections. Then, a mid-month update provided to Premium Members showed the race tightening so we moved Florida back to "Toss-Up" status where it remains today.

In Florida, the polls began shifting back to the Toss-Up status shortly after Edwards was announced as the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate.

Kerry attracts his highest level of support from Floridians under 30. Bush does best among 30-somethings.

Fifty percent (50%) of Florida voters Approve of the way President Bush is performing his job. That's unchanged from a month ago... and close to his national Job Approval rating.

Fifty-three percent (53%) of Florida men give the President their approval along with just 47% of women.

Data for Florida will be updated again early next month.
