Whether it’s Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, the Republican presidential nominee looks like a sure loser to Hillary Clinton in Florida because of the Republicans’ lack of popularity with crucial voting blocs in the state, according to a poll conducted last week by the business lobby Associated Industries of Florida.

Clinton would wallop Trump by 49-36 percent if the election were held today and she’d best Cruz 48-39 percent, according to the poll of 604 likely Florida voters...

That is why Trump will have to start to focus on both the issues and Hillary.

Hillary looks very weak right now, considering that Bernie has gotten more interest from other Dems.

Just like in 2012 when Mitt spent 40 million in negative ads against Newt resulted in people not showing up on election day... Mitt Romney is the worst thing to ever happen to the Republican party.

If you conduct a poll for a “business lobby” then you will produce the results that said lobby wants to see.

RNC brain damage is not helping the eventual R nominee and other R candidates.

Absolute BS!

But I do believe Hillary would beat Cruz in Florida. Cruz was dominated by Trump in Florida.

The Suoer PAC that spent negative ads on Trump was Romneys. Romney knew what he was doing. Knew this would hurt everyones chances to win Florida... Again, Romney is the worst thing to happen to the Republican party and frankly the world :)

WOW!
Almost 11&1/2 million registered voters in 2012 alone. This poll is 600 of them and were supposed to think it credible of the actual pulse of Floridians?

from simple search:
Total, 2012, up to October 2012 REP DEM State
Florida 4,581,056 4,137,890 11,446,540

Florida is another lost state for Republicans in the 0bama era. Too many Northeast transplant have tilted this red sate blue.

Florida will be a brawl in November. South Florida is 3rd world already and the I-4 corridor from Tampa across to Daytona is getting there quick. Fertile ground for pandering Dims. We’re going to have a battle no doubt to win here.

What’s weird is the GOP is dominating every state level office and the state houses. It’s just the presidency that has become an issue.

Just went to the internals. In order to get this result they oversampled Dade county and oversampled women. Dade county is 13% of FL population, they sampled it at 20%. Women are 51% of FL population, they sampled them at 55%.

See how easy it is to do agenda polling?
