Donald Trump has a 2 percentage point edge over Hillary Clinton in Florida, according to a new poll released Wednesday, as both presidential campaigns blanket the critical swing state in a full sprint to Election Day.
A new Bloomberg Politics poll finds Trump ahead of Clinton, 45% to 43% -- well within the poll's 3.2 percentage point margin of error -- in a four-way race among likely voters. Libertarian Gary Johnson gets 4% support, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein draws 2%. For perspective, President Barack Obama won the state's 29 electoral votes in 2012 by less than a percentage point.
That's a significant shift from Florida polling earlier this month, which regularly showed Clinton in the lead. A Quinnipiac University survey -- taken after the the release of the "Access Hollywood" recording of Trump and following the second presidential debate -- showed Clinton leading by 4 percentage points, 48% to 44%.
Trump's edge is driven by his advantage among Florida independents, among whom he gets 44% compared to Clinton's 37%. Third-party candidates Johnson and Stein combine for 14% of the independent vote....

I would say so, peaking now is great for Trump, they are voting in Florida
Looks like the Clinton machine didn’t do as much damage as they thought they would inflict.
She is now trying to protect down ballot races, you do that when you either have it in the bag (she doesn’t even by her own crooked polls) or you are losing badly and want to save face. A Trump landslide is one thing, a Republican landslide is something the Dims would fear the most.
They need power someplace.
Very important in elections and other things.
sorry. florida is totally trump territory.
only the propaganda mills, the voting dead, and those stuffing the baoolet boxes think otherwise
Funny how we get two weeks out and the numbers start shifting, isn’t it?
In U.S. history, has a candidate ever won both Florida and Ohio and not won the election?
How is this possible? Everyone knows that Hillary is 12 points ahead nationally.
“— well within the poll’s 3.2 percentage point margin of error —”
I see that statement has made a return nowthat Trump is in the lead in a poll and not Clinton.
This just means (to me) that these pollsters want to be taken seriously. ..and will more honestly report for the next 2 weeks.
I would say instead of peaking the polls are doing what they do every election period, they are stopping the dem propaganda to suppress the Republican vote and becoming what they think is accurate measure of the vote because they need to be as accurate as possible on their last poll as to not to be a joke in the next election cycle. The ones that continue to be a propaganda tool up to the very end tend to go by the wayside like Zogby.
In 1960, Nixon won OH and FL but lost the election. Arguably he won the election, absent voter fraud in IL.
The polls have to start reporting the truth as the vote gets closer. Podesta is deeply troubled.
Pray America wakes
Even CNN is facing reality. Going to DVR all 3 major Hillary campaign channels—er I mean cable news networks, on Nov 8th. I get the feeling it will be a sweet night.
There’s an article circulating on Facebook that the governor got caught trying to toss thousands of ballots.
The governor of Florida is a Republican.
Yup, that.
Careful or Meg will accuse you of being a sexual predator.
I knew that. Here is what the anti-Trumpsters are posting:
