Here's a fascinating internal from a new Purple Strategies poll of Florida, Colorado, Virginia, and Ohio.
The pollster asked respondents if they viewed the Romney-Ryan budget plan as either 1) Tax breaks for the rich/end Medicare or 2) Means to help reduce deficit/help economy/strengthen Medicare.
The state with the most positive reaction to the Romney-Ryan budget? FLORIDA.
In Florida, 46% think the budget will help the economy and Medicare, while 41% think it will hurt Medicare and is just a means to help the rich.
Meanwhile, in both Ohio and Colorado, voters narrowly think the Romney-Ryan budget means tax breaks for the rich that will end Medicare (the other state, Virginia, picks the positive description of the Ryan plan).
So what does this say?
Well, Florida voters are proving, so far, more receptive to the Romney-Ryan budget than voters in three, other swing states. And this isn't just some proxy for preference. In this poll, Romney actually does better, overall, in Ohio than in Florida.
Big question -- Will Florida's relatively kind reception to the Romney-Ryan budget last?
