St. Pete Polls latest survey of Florida: Joe Biden 50%, Donald Trump 47%
A new St. Pete Polls survey shows Democrat Joe Biden winning nearly half the Florida vote.
The poll, commissioned by Florida Politics and AARP Florida, finds almost 50% would vote for Biden if the election were held today. More than 47% would vote to reelect President Donald Trump. Less than 2% of voters remain undecided, the poll found, and about 2% will vote for a third-party candidate.
That’s a narrow but distinct lead, just outside the pollster’s 1.9% margin of error.
“This poll reinforces two phenomena: the always-closeness of Florida’s electorate and its strong-willed determination to make sure its vote in that contest counts,” said Peter Schorsch, publisher of Florida Politics.
Conducted on Sept. 7 and 8, the poll represents the outfit’s first post-political conventions results and the the first released after Labor Day.
A peek at crosstabs shows Biden enjoys stronger partisan loyalty than Trump, but only barely. Around 84% of Democrats will vote for their party’s nominee, compared to around 82% of Republicans.
As for independents, almost 50% choose Biden while 46% pick Trump, a more pronounced lead than the state as a whole.
Nearly 57% of White voters favor Trump, while less than 41% plan to vote for Biden. But that’s the only racial demographic to favor the President. Asian and Pacific Islander voters go to Biden 51% to 46%, Hispanic voters break 54% to 42% for the Democrat, and a resounding 87% of Black voters like Biden compared to 9% for Trump.
