Trump in Dead Heat With Top Democrats in Key Swing State of Florida, Poll Finds

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump is in a statistical tie with the Democratic Party's top 2020 contenders in the crucial swing state of Florida, a new poll from Florida Atlantic University has found.

Within the Democratic Party itself, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is narrowing the gap between her candidacy and that of former Vice President Joe Biden, mirroring national polling which has documented her steady ascent.

In the Sunshine State, Warren, Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders were all found to lose to Trump in hypothetical matchups by a margin slim enough to be a statistical tie. Senator Kamala Harris, however, would lose decisively to Trump in the state, the poll found, above the margin of error.

Despite being underwater nationally, Trump has sustained a net-positive approval rating in Florida, at 49 percent (compared with 46 percent disapproval).

1. How is the worst President in history tied with our best candidates? What utter bullshit. nt

6. Because it's Florida. But it's good that at least 3 of our candidates are competitive there. (nt)

2. This is proof that beating Trump is not as easy as some people think. This is an election that needs

to be taken seriously. The circular firing squad needs to end.

8. People need to climb out of their bubble

Last election (2016) there was at least one person who posted here that they were certain that Clinton was going to win Ohio because they lived in Ohio and had a pulse on what people were thinking.
This seemed to come from someone whose friends were mostly limited to HRC supporters
People also need to stop focusing on how dumb trump supporters are, because they're smart enough to find the voting booth and they bring other like minded types with them
People who support whomever the nominee is, or who just hate ill presidente, might consider getting their friends to the polls

4. Spend a little time outside the big cities and you will see what we're up against

Deplorables everywhere in large numbers

7. Go to Lee County, Hannity is going to retire there

It's full of reichwingers. Their sheriff is likely not qualified under Florida law to have that position, but he is the favorite to win the Republican nomination and the GE
The retirement communities are being filled with reicher retirees -- the Village comes to mind

11. In my county.

All our elected officials are republicans. But an unknown democrat in a non partisan city race just drew 41% of the vote against the better funded and incumbent republican. In the county, we have 109,000 republicans registered, 79,000 democrats and 56,000 other. Our nominee is going to lose my county to Trump, Hillary did, but she did much better that I expected here, even when no one from her campaign came within 80 miles of my county (Trump campaigned in it's biggest city).

The key to winning Florida is cutting into the republican's winning margin in counties like mine by 1,500 votes and running up blue margins in the urban areas, that requires visiting all areas of the state and jacking up Blue excitement.

5. Not surprised

Florida has been trending away from the Democrats
This has been aided by the high number of reich-wing retirees moving there, to places like the Village

9. Crap C + poll. Biden is beating Trump by 14 in the A rated FOX NEWS national poll.

For the FL poll to be right FL would need to have a fifteen point partisan lean for the Republicans. No way is it near that large. It's been between 3-4 points in the last five or six presidential elections

10. well...if we do indeed make the move to Key West next year....

there will be two more votes against the asshole...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. Well then. The choice is clear.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. It sure is!! Go Bernie!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

13. And some think we can nominate a ham sandwich and can win

The bigotry is too strong in America.
