Do you have the party breakdown of that new 855000 voters? How do we know it isn’t mostly transplanted Puerto Ricans that have flooded our state? These people are welfare loving dems and will never vote Trump. I’m hopeful that this isn’t the case and that the majority of the new registered voters are trump leaners, but we can’t take anything for granted. Trump is up against the media/dem/rhino establishment. That’s a tough wall to climb.
Early on a lot of Dems switched party’s simply to vote for who they thought would be the worst candidate for the Republicans. I think early dems laughed at Trump. Now they are all running scared.
96,000 new Republicans, 80,000 new Demonrats, rest are independent or previously registered but omitted primary 3-4 of the last 4. So net +16,000 to Republicans.
Note: independents in some states (don’t know about Florida) can vote in party primaries. There will be more new voters between now and November. Also note: Florida has many new voters every election from people (often retirees) moving to Florida. Trump is favored in the over 50 crowd. So this is positive, just a small positive.
That’s an interesting point you made about the hoards of Puerto Ricans who have recently moved to Florida. Quite frankly, I had not considered that as a factor.
I don’t know the party breakdown of the new voters in Florida. It’s not 855,000 new voters. That number.....855,000 registered voters....is roughly 250,000 additional voters from four years ago, so it’s 250,000 new voters who never voted before. It’s not the State of Florida as a whole; that figure.....855,000 registered voters....is just for the central portion of The Sunshine State.
There’s is another group of voters in central Florida who haven’t voted in years, but they are registering in large numbers. This is in addition to the 250,000 “never voted before” voters.
From the anecdotal stories I’ve heard since the primaries began, I still believe there are huge numbers of Trump supporters across the country, including in Florida, that are intending to vote for Trump but are keeping their preferences to themselves because of the way Trump and his supporters are being treated by the left.
There was a story during the primaries of a woman in her nineties who never voted before in her life, but she finally registered to vote in order to vote for Trump.
Let’s hope the “Monster Vote” comes through in November.
