I agree with you. This is great news for Trump. The battering he’s taken in the media, and the lockstep of the reporters and commentators against him (including most on Fox), SHOULD HAVE buried him.

That he’s neck and neck in these major swing states is excellent news.

It tells me that they just don’t trust national security to Clinton.

It also proves to me that Trump is now and always has been the only outsider, non-establishment candidate. When your own speaker of the house can’t wait to bash you on the news each day, then there’s little doubt you’re an outsider.

The vote if for the corrupt establishment OR a chance at real change with a real outsider.

His mom was a naturalized citizen at the time of his birth is what I’ve read. I don’t believe his dad was, but I do believe he was a green card resident.

A wise choice. But the fact these polls are so close is not good. He should be way ahead of the lying, murdering witch.

The millennials who rent a house from us in Cleveland are Bernie supporters and have a very low opinion of Hillary. Pretty certain they won’t be voting for her.

I’ve seen two Hillary bumper stickers in the last six months (one with Florida plates). Both cars were driven by 60+ year old women. Unfortunately, that demographic gets out and votes.

Yeah, looking very good for Trump in Pennsylvania despite it shifting left in recent years. Strange that he’s not higher in Florida though.

The media, the democrats, and the republicans are all on her side. I’m excited that he is this close.

Naturally, this poll isn’t getting a lot of media attention. Trump has just endured the worst patch of his campaign, and Hillary has out with new ads in swing states during the same stretch—yet Trump is dead even in Ohio and PA.

Trump needs to bump up his cash reserves and develop a coherent media strategy (beyond the free stuff). Hillary’s “record” is the gift that keeps on giving—the crimes and misdeeds that launched 1,000 attack ads. My guess is that Trump waiting until after the convention, but you can’t go on the attack too early or too often against the Clintons and their allies in the media.

Here is a sample of QU FL 2014 governor race on 10-30 2014 .

Crist was ahead by 3 points and QU had the Dem ahead the entire time.

Scott won by TWO !

Dead heat

This from the same media that said Jimmy Carter had a "clear lead" and has had 0's approval rating locked in at 43% since June 2010.

The primaries tell his strength in his own party. He didn’t win Miami-Dade.

In 2012 there were about 8.4 million who voted in Florida.

In the 2016 primaries:

Trump had about 1.1 million
Clinton had about 1.1 million
Rubio had about 650k
Sanders had about 550k.

IOW, about 5 million voters were not heard from in the primary elections.

That’s exactly what I saw this week, too. A few Bernie stickers on cars driven by older women in Subarus (usually two of them in the same car, hmmm...). Everything else was Trump and Hillary for Prison.

Who are they polling? I see zero support for Hillary here in W Florida. Further east, there are many still registered Dems but even those counties usually vote R in the General election.

Who were the 4.3 million Floridians who voted for Obama in 2012?

Who were the 4.1 million Floridians who voted for Romney in 2012?

This poll is pure, unadulterated bovine excrement.

I’ve yet to meet ANYONE who supports Hillary, and every one I know under 30 is vocally against her. They support Bernie, but I even got my pabulum-puking liberal brother to admit he’ll vote for Trump.

It isn’t a question of a survey here or there being off. Trump has his own pollster now also so the fact that they are “headed in a different direction” as he put it this morning speaks volumes. The campaign is basically seeing what the rest of us are and is working to make corrections before it is too late.

I don’t think the Florida numbers are correct. Romney almost won Florida. Trump will.

It is still not a true head-to-head, until after the convention.
