West Long Branch, NJ – Hillary Clinton holds a 9 point lead over Donald Trump in the crucial swing state of Florida. The Monmouth University Poll also finds incumbent Marco Rubio leading either of his two main Democratic challengers to retain his U.S. Senate seat, although by varying margins. Rubio’s endorsement of Trump could pose a few problems for him in November and his late decision to run for reelection is seen primarily as a move to boost his future presidential prospects.
Among Sunshine State voters likely to participate in November’s presidential election, 48% currently support Clinton and 39% back Trump. Another 6% intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 1% support Green Party candidate Jill Stein, with 5% who are undecided.
Among self-identified Democrats, 92% support Clinton while 4% choose Trump and just 3% back a third party candidate. Trump has less support among his own party base, with 79% of Republicans who back their nominee, compared to 12% who support Clinton and 5% who back another candidate. Clinton leads Trump among independents by 47% to 30%, with 11% supporting Johnson and 2% backing Stein.

Just below the “demographics” box there’s a “MOE” box that gives the sample sizes- and the ‘self-identified’ Republicans are even more there!
...They’ve got a piece of paper with most of the respondents’ Party id and voting history in their hand.
First off they should be calling a representative sample, not one that’s heavily Republican like their results represent, and if it were heavily Republican it shouldn’t show so many votes for Hillary.
... well heck, I just don’t see any explanation neither by error or intent.

primarily as a move to boost his future presidential prospects
***********************
Rubio has no Presidential prospects because he is ineligible.
His parents were still Cuban citizens when he was born with foreign allegiance.
If she does win, I will not obey her unconstitutional dictates. Nor will millions of others like me.
Trump is running poorly in the Miami area, especially in the Cuban neighborhoods where Republicans usually win. I’m thinking that Gary Johnson has an opportunity there and I’d rather he win those voters than Clinton.
Regardless of poll methodologies, Trump needs to start running even with the senate nominees. He can’t be a drag on the ticket in so many states. There just isn’t that much ticket splitting anymore. If he’s a consistent 5 % or more drag on the ticket, he will cost the senate.
Why is this poll better than the Zogby Poll?
These traitors , Obama Rhino senators like Rubio , Toomey ,McCain ,Ayotte voted YES on all of all radical Muslim Barry Brotherhood agenda .
They gave Barry the Soros puppet Everything and more .
These traitors have crushed the Tea party Movement .
Trump is being dragged down by there lies and treason .
They have betrayed the base and it will punish them and Trump is caught in between them.
But who the hell believes Monmouth a fourth rate commuter college which did push polls for the Never trump media which were dead wrong .
we did the leg work....
It’s “likely voters”. The pollster can legitimately do what he wants with weighting.
That’s why early ‘likely voter’ polls are stupid IMO.
Come October they are alright.
Is the the same Monmouth who Conservative Treehouse said was caught cheating on their polls?
