Latest Poll: Harris within striking distance in Florida [View all]
The red wave that washed over Florida in recent years might not be as large as it once seemed, if a new presidential survey is any indication.
Vice President Kamala Harris is within “striking distance” of former President Donald Trump in Florida, according to the pollster behind a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University survey of 500 registered voters released Tuesday.
Trump leads Harris by five percentage points in the survey, but that’s closer than other recent polls and much less than Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 19-point blowout in 2022. It’s also within the poll’s 4.4% margin of error, and another sign of the enthusiasm Harris has generated nationwide within the Democratic Party since she entered the race.
Trump received the support of 47% of those in the USA TODAY/Suffolk Florida survey, compared to 42% for Harris and 5% for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with 5% undecided or refusing to disclose their choice. The poll was conducted by phone between Aug. 7 and 11.
