Despite a slew of polls showing Donald Trump losing to Hillary Clinton in the critical swing state of Florida, there’s a glimmer of hope for the GOP presidential candidate as a new survey released shows him in the lead.

Trump is beating Clinton 45 percent to 43 percent, the Bloomberg Politics Florida poll finds, when independent third party candidates are factored in......

The polls finds Trump is viewed more favorably (46 percent) in Florida than Clinton (44 percent) —

The Bloomberg Politics Florida Poll Oct. 21-24 surveyed 953 Florida residents who have already voted or say they will certainly vote. It’s margin of error is 3 percentage points.

But Clinton maintains a lead in the RealClearPolitics average of Florida polls, receiving support from 46.4 percent of the vote to Trump’s 44.8 percent. The Bloomberg poll is the first reliable poll since Oct. 4 to show Trump with even a slight lead.......

Meanwhile, in the Florida Senate race, the Bloomberg poll finds former GOP presidential hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio with a sizable lead over Democrat Patrick Murphy, 51 percent to 41 percent.

The poll also finds that 64 percent of Florida voters believes the nation is going on the “wrong track,” while only 29 percent believe the US is headed in the “right direction.”

Twenty-one percent of Florida believes the biggest issue facing the US is the “terrorist threat from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS,” while 17 percent believe it’s “unemployment and jobs,” 15 percent health care and 13 percent “A decline in real income for American workers.”

Mr. Mercat and I are going to our in person early voting location tomorrow. I’m pretty excited. Back in 1972 when I was a hippy I was excited about voting for McGovern. It was sort of a Bernie thing. Now once again I’m excited about voting but for Trump. LOL

It’s funny how things work out sometimes.

I was super happy to color in the bubble for Trump, and for Pence.

And I separate Pence from Trump like that, because I must say that I loathe the GOP. However, I have been very pleased with Mr. Pence in this campaign, and I believe he was a wise selection and is an asset.

God bless Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence and America.
