President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are tied in Florida with just 18 days to go before Election Day, according to a new Hill/Harris poll released on Friday.
The poll shows both Biden and Trump garnering 48 percent of support among likely voters in the Sunshine State, while another 4 percent are unsure of how they will vote.
Trump wins his strongest support from white voters, 59 percent of whom say they plan to cast their ballot for the president. But Biden has strong support among Black voters and Hispanics, who together accounted for about a third of Florida’s electorate in 2016.
Eighty-two percent of Black voters say they support Biden, while 13 percent are backing Trump, according to the poll. Among Hispanic voters in the state, 57 percent say they will vote for Biden compared to 39 percent who plan to support Trump.
Hillary Clinton carried 62 percent of the Hispanic vote in Florida four years ago to Trump’s 35 percent. The Hill/Harris poll, however, suggests that Trump has marginally improved his standing among those voters.
But Biden also appears to be outperforming Clinton’s support among voters 65 and older, a key voting bloc in Florida that has long tilted toward Republicans and that Trump sees as critical to his success in the Sunshine State. Among those voters, 51 percent say they are backing Trump for reelection, while 46 percent are supporting Biden.
The poll also shows that few voters are still willing to change their mind about which candidate they plan to support. Eighty-eight percent of respondents said they are committed to their choice compared to 12 percent who indicated that their preference could still change.

3 to 4 pts
If they’re saying its a dead heat it must be POTUS by 6-8.
He pulls in thousands every time he has a rally here and its a tie???
Riiiiiight
He’ll win Florida by around 150,000
9 according my source
4 years ago the media would have called 45’s repeated visits to PA insane. Off topic I know sorry.
Biden has Hispanics? Even Cubans? Really?
I cant figure if you’re trolling or not. If POTUS was really up by 9 he would not be doing rallies there . Nobody wins FLA by more than 2 points.
Agreed.
Just today my friend posted pictures of another boat parade in Palm Beach County. GO TRUMP!
59% of the white vote in FL is not good. In 2016, he got almost 70%.
Very true. Trump will with a comfortable 2-3 pts this time.
Trump will carry Florida. He might carry Palm county. But Miami Dade and scumbag infested Broward will go RAT
and no one wins it by 11 pts like some polls had it a week ago
Meaning, Trump by +6.
Agreed
Solidifying down ticket support is the reason. Winning House and Senate seats. Same reason for him being in IA and NC recently.
Trump in Ft Meyers FL now huge crowds lining streets.
