Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is in the lead in the swing-state of Florida, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Poll for the 2012 Election. Florida will be a key state that both candidates will be hoping to claim, as it is the swing state that holds the most Electoral College votes.

Florida will provide the winning candidate with 29 Electoral votes, and in the latest telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida, Rasmussen Reports has revealed that Romney has 50 percent of the vote compared to Obama's 48 percent. One percent was recorded as being undecided.

Although Romney is still comfortably in the lead, his advantage has in fact been reduced; the report also noted that only last week Romney held his biggest lead of the year in Florida: 51 percent to 46 percent. The week before that, Romney was in the lead 51 to 47 percent.

Questions asked in the survey included:

- Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impression of Mitt Romney?

- Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impression of Barack Obama?

- If the 2012 presidential election were held today, would you vote for Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama?

- Whom do you trust more to handle the economy....Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?

- Whom do you trust more to handle national security issues...Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?
