Clinton's Florida Lead Continues to Grow
Source: PPP
PPP's newest Florida poll finds Hillary Clinton's lead in the state continuing to tick up. She's at 46% to 42% for Donald Trump, with Gary Johnson at 5%, and Jill Stein at 1%. When PPP last polled the state two weeks ago, Clinton's advantage was 45/43. In a head to head, Clinton's lead over Trump grows to 5 points at 49/44.
Trump was already unpopular in Florida but after the revelations of the last week his favorability numbers have cratered in the state. On our last poll he had a net -11 rating (42/53) and that's declined by another 11 points to where it's now -22 (37/59). Clinton, on the other hand, has seen a slight improvement from 43/53 up to 44/51.
It seems like Trump's last ditch effort to revive his campaign might be trying to use Bill Clinton's past accused actions against his wife, but we find that voters in Florida are likely to firmly reject that line of attack. Only 35% of voters think it's fair to hold Hillary responsible for the behavior of her husband, to 57% who say that's unfair. That line of argument might play well with Trump's hardcore base, but it's not likely to help him win over many new converts.
One thing that's helping Clinton's prospects in Florida is that voters say 52-43 they'd rather have another four years of Barack Obama as President than the sharp change of direction that a Trump presidency would represent. Undecided voters, by a 29 point margin, would rather have Obama than Trump. Those folks don't like Hillary Clinton or else they'd already be voting for her, but it seems they might go Clinton, or they might go third party, or they might stay home. But they're not likely to move to Trump, who literally not a single undecided voter in our poll said they had a positive opinion of.

Think of that. Not a single undecided voter they polled had a positive opinion of Trump.
Among other interesting items from the poll -- 40% of Trump supporters believe what Alex Jones said about Clinton really being a demon (I can hardly believe I typed that; it should be Borowitz or The Onion) and 38% of Trump supporters believe the country is better off if a man is president.
Misogynists. Incredibly stupid misogynists.

One fact from our FL poll that helps explain why it will be so hard for Trump to come back: his favorability with undecideds is literally 0
