Politico reported today on a Florida poll conducted for a business group in the state that shows Hillary Clinton beating Donald Trump by 13 points and Ted Cruz by nine.
Why is that important? Because if Clinton wins Florida and carries the 19 states (plus D.C.) that have voted for the Democratic presidential nominee in each of the last six elections, she will be the 45th president. It's that simple.

“Never believe anything the Washington Post tells you, or Politico.”
I had a former friend who quoted things from Politico and assumed everyone agreed to the accuracy because of his source. I could never get it through his thick head that his source was liberal propaganda. Best not to argue with pigs or idiots.
You must be natural-born Canadian Fidelito Cruz or Mark Levin or Glenn Beck?
it has the making for low turnout for Clinton
not for Trump
This is a Reagan-Mondale matchup. Clinton will be playing 100% defense the entire time, desperately trying to hold onto core states.
Yeah, whatever. This country has devolved to the point where we don’t even know what bathroom to use without being called bigoted. Enough people will crawl through broken glass to vote for whoever steers us away from this far left liberal looniness that the obama age has ushered in..
I have no idea what will happen but my bet is that most of the polls will be way off, even those done the day before the election.
The democrat machine is working away to make sure that every democrat state will have huge turnout and only for them. It is impossible for a democrat to lose given the cheating democrat machine. One example is the phantom precincts in the Iowa primary that popped up, sent in their vote tallys and were unidentified before during or after the primary. The vote counters in iowa were friends of hillary and the vote tally was never released. Only that she won. The fix is in. Get your fallout shelter now.
In a low turn out election, Trump will have to get at least 62% of the white vote to beat Clinton.
To put that in perspective, Reagan holds the all time American record with 66% of the white vote in his 1984 landslide reelection victory
If non-white voters turn out for Clinton in 2016 at the same rate they turned out for Obama in 2012, Trump will need close to 65% of the white vote to beat her.
Democrats don’t start with 48 percent unless they are running against Jeb or Mitt or the like.
> If non-white voters turn out for Clinton in 2016 at the same rate they turned out for Obama in 2012
Primary numbers say there’s not a prayer in hell of that happening.
You assume that people are not persuadable. Events show that’s not true. What people say they will do six months from now, and what they will actually do are two different things. I think Trump can improve his negatives, and he has shown that in the polls recently. Hillary can’t. People know her too well. The pundits like to talk about Trump’s low favorability with women. Today’s Rassmussen poll show he only gets 38% as of now. They don’t mention Hillary is even worse with men (35%). Trump has plenty of time to bring his image up and drive Hillary’s down.
How would Trump do that? Executive order?
Blacks don't like Hillary.
And they're not as stupid as the Democrats think they are.
Blacks have the most to lose from the massive influx of Hispanics. That's a fact the Republicans can use to their advantage if they can figure out how to do it.
“The difference between the democrats and republicans this year is that for the republicans, the one who is generating the energy and bringing people in is going to be the nominee. On the democrat side, the one who is generating the energy and getting participation is going to lose the nomination. “
Excellent point.
The Donald wins nearly EVERYTHING east of the Mississippi.
NY, NJ, PA, CT and FL all easy wins for The Donald.
OH, IL, MI all fall in line. They are first & foremost UNION states like NY, NOT big D Democrat states. Members want DT; Bosses want Her Thighness.
CA is competitive, a possible for a middle ground Trump.
20%+ black vote.
BIG numbers of LEGAL hispanics.
Tons of Bernie millenials.
If he can hold Texas against a blue tide, the EC count will get YUUUUUUUGEE.
My prediction: 45+ states.
Didn't think so. This is exactly the sort of agitprop we've come to expect from our "news" organizations.
Not seeing this in Florida.
Trump is very popular here
And Hillary is... Well, she’s still a Clinton
Not to mention shrillary is a felon, due to the massive security breach from the unsecured home-based server.
Highly classified information, the disclosure and mishandling of which constitutes “exceptionally grave damage” to the security of the US.
There’s an active investigation going on, and it’s awfully close to starting a criminal prosecution against her

Previous polls had Trump beating Cankles in FL, down just 2 in VA. Clever of them to find this poll.
They didn't just allow it, they participated, joined, encouraged, advocated, etc. just as much as the DEMs did. See GWB "Comprehensive immigration bill" for example, and half-baked immigration enforcement going back decades.
What’s the Star Wars connection?
