Joe Biden Leads By 4 Points In Florida As Independents Dump Trump

"SNIP.....


A new poll of Florida shows Trump getting negative marks for his coronavirus response and approval rating as Biden leads 46%-42%.

Via a new PPP Poll:

Florida voters don’t have a clear favorite in the upcoming presidential election. If the election for president were being held today, former Vice President Joe Biden would get 46 percent of the vote, while Trump would get 42 percent. The candidates are holding their bases just about equally well, as Biden wins among Democrats 91 – 4 percent and Trump wins among Republicans 89 – 7 percent. The race is close among the key swing group, independents, with Biden getting 44 percent of the vote and Trump receiving 37 percent.

….

Voters hold a mixed view of Biden and a negative view of Trump, but their favorability ratings are moving in different directions. Trump is viewed favorably by 43 percent of voters, while 50 percent view him unfavorably – a new high favorability for the president in Florida. This compares to March 2019, when Trump had a negative 40 – 52 percent favorability rating. Biden is viewed favorably by 43 percent of voters, while 40 percent view him unfavorably. However, this is down from a positive 49 – 35 percent favorability rating in March 2019.

Part of the reason why Trump changed his residency to Florida was to help himself in the state in 2020. The general election in Florida is, stop me if you have heard this one before, expected to be close in November.

1. That's good news but....

I put no stock in polls at this time. Biden will be attacked unmercifully in the last week of the campaign and the polls may mean more at that time.

11. Exactly

Right now Biden is just "generic Democrat". Even though he's a former vice president, he's not so well known by the American people that Trump has no room to Swift Boat him. Kerry was leading by a bunch at this point in 2004 also, although he was less well known than Biden is.

2. Florida

This type of polling makes Donnie increasingly dangerous as he becomes more and more desperate.

3. still an easy margin to get past if the gop keeps enough people from voting

Hopefully we can keep the margins large enough to avoid getting stolen.

5. Or just steal it

like they did in 2018

7. Gillum wasn't as great a candidate as many of us thought.

He left millions of unspent campaign cash after the election, and put no effort into tapping into the new Puerto Rican Demographic -which Rick Scott very easily did on a personal level. But all of this is in the backdrop of the thousands whose votes didn't count, and the margin was still like .5 percent.

4. Positive news isn't very popular, it seems.

6. Hillary was up by about 7 points with 2 days until election.

Do we want to get too infatuated with polls this far out?

8. No, but I swear to gawd, if that orange piece of shit gets in again.......

I won’t be responsible for my actions.

[edhopper]

9. Why should we trust the vote count from Florida?

[Hortensis]

10. Actually, we want to get COMMITTED, "infatuated" if you prefer.

Those bizarre, radical swings belying 2 years of previous polling were clearly the result of massive election interference directed at vulnerable voters.

Standing strong and resolute will eliminate most of that effect. And you're right of course that our own RW powers and also foreign hostile nations will be repeating everything that worked in 2016.

WE have to be different. On the plus side, Biden is not a woman running for president.
