New poll dashes Obama's hope to use Mediscare as a wedge issue against Romney-Ryan

Seniors seem to prefer Romney-Ryan to Obama on Medicare.

Via Hot Air:

An important addendum to Ed’s CBS/NYT number-crunch from lefty Greg Sargent:

The breakdown sent over by CBS:
* In Florida, 48 percent of seniors say Romney would do a better job on Medicare, versus 44 percent who say that about Obama (the Ryan pick was supposed to be particularly problematic in this state).
* In Ohio, 49 percent of seniors say Romney would do a better job on Medicare, versus 43 percent who say that about Obama.
* In Wisconsin, 49 percent say Obama would do a better job on Medicare, versus 46 percent who say that about Romney. Close.
What’s striking is that the poll also finds very big majorities of seniors in all three states support leaving Medicare as it is, while small minorities support changing it so government provides fixed amounts to spend on insurance.
