Exit Polls Hint At Mitt Win

Here's an interesting bit of Florida GOP primary exit poll data:

RISING IMPORTANCE FOR FALLING ECONOMY

Given four choices, nearly half of Florida Republican primary voters said the economy is the most important issue facing the country. Terrorism, Iraq and immigration each were picked by fewer than two in 10. (AP)

Who is Mr. Economy? John McCain? Mike Huckabee? I don't think so!

McCain probably saw similar data a week ago, which is why the alleged straight-shooter desperately misrepresented Romney's record to try to turn the Florida voters' away from the economy and back to the war.

I've seen more than enough whacked-out exit poll results to seize on this item and prognosticate a Romney win ... but for Romney's backers, it's certainly better news than a reversed finding would be.
