Donald Trump has a 2-point lead over Hillary Clinton in the battleground state of Florida, a new poll finds.

A new Florida Atlantic University survey released on Wednesday shows the Republican presidential nominee leading his Democratic counterpart 43 percent to 41 percent, which is within the survey’s margin of error. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson captures 8 percent, and 5 percent are undecided.

This is the first poll showing Trump leading Clinton in the Sunshine State since early July, according to RealClearPolitics polling....

On the other hand....
those 8 percent for the so-called libertarian (who’s got some seriously leftist views)... could easily swing to Trump ...

Poll watchers are not located where the main problem occurs which is at the central computer for an area, a county or a city or other area that includes many polling places. The votes are all transmitted to those central machines where changing the results is as easy as editing a short data file in a Mac. There are programs on those central machines accessible to someone who has the password or can guess it that have the tools for “adjustment” of the totals to be whatever the operator wants. Many of those passwords are simple like 12345 or abcdef.

maybe
but let’s hope Mr. Trump’s political advisors don’t feel he “has to” go even further leftist in order to capture those “libertarian” votes

That means Trump has at least 20% of the AA vote and 40% of the Hispanic vote. We are talking landslide territory here.

If African Americans are going at anywhere close to 20% in swing states, it’s a Trump victory. Easily. Even a 50/40 with Hispanics is a better trend than other ‘acceptable’ republicrats of recent elections.

“I see.
well, Johnson or whatever his name is...has certainly not earned a spot on the debate platform...that’s for sure...”

If the Libertarian Johnson gets to 15% in the average of polls, then he will earn a spot on the Debate stage, along with Hillary and Trump. Therefore, the crooked pollsters are doing everything they can to get Johnson above the 15% mark in the polls, which has to be by the end of September, I believe, or thereabouts, for Johnson to have risen above or to 15%. The crooked pollsters have their work cut out for them to get Johnson to that 15% mark and not look as corrupt as they will look if they manage to pull it off by jacking around with the poll numbers to do so.
