Florida Atlantic University poll: Elizabeth Warren surges in Florida as Joe Biden slips
Elizabeth Warren surged to a strong second place among Democrats in a Florida poll released Wednesday, though Joe Biden remains in first place among candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Florida Atlantic University poll shows Biden with 34% among Florida Democrats, a dip of 5 percentage points since May. Warren stands at 24% double the 12% she had in May.
Elizabeth Warren is gathering strength and is becoming a real competitor for the state, said Kevin Wagner, an FAU political scientist and research fellow at the universitys Business and Economics Polling Initiative. He said the 24% is a really good number for her. If I were one of her people, I would love this poll.
Since the previous survey in May, the candidates have had three debates, and Biden has been a focus of attention for occasional campaign trail gaffes, a relatively light campaign schedule and rambling answers. At the same time, Warren has been steadily increasing her support in nationwide polls as shes become better known, continued issuing plans and demonstrated stamina as shes stayed long after her rallies to take selfies with any supporters who want them.
The FAU poll found little change for Bernie Sanders. He stands at 14% in the new survey, up 2 percentage points from May...All the other Democrats were far behind in single digits in the FAU poll: Pete Buttigieg, 5%; Kamala Harris, 4%; Beto ORourke, 2%; Andrew Yang, 2%.

OP
A slow 12-point rise overe 4 months is NOT a surge, and the poll results don't use that word. And

(48,917 posts)7. A slow 12-point rise overe 4 months is NOT a surge, and the poll results don't use that word. And
since May was shortly after Biden's announcement and he got a bounce then, it's impressive that he's only 5 points lower now. Again, the word "slip" isn't used in the poll results. They call it a dip.
Sigh.
Warren's improving. But she still has only 2/3 the support Biden has in Florida, according to this poll.
