Republican Donald Trump has a razor-thin 1-point lead over Hillary Clinton in Florida—a statistical tie and a reversal from last month—according to a new Suffolk University poll of likely general-election voters in a state some consider the tipping point for the 2016 presidential election.

Trump (45 percent) led Clinton (44 percent) with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 3 percent, the Green Party’s Jill Stein at 1 percent, and 7 percent undecided. Six candidates for president are listed on the Florida ballot, including Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party and Roque De La Fuente of the Reform Party, neither of whom received support in the poll.

In a Suffolk University poll taken in early August, Clinton held a 4-point lead in a four-way ballot test that included Johnson and Stein and led Trump by 6 points in a head-to-head matchup.

Suffolk is no friend of the right and they show that Hillary's August lead is gone. The marginals show Trump up 1.4%

They show no breakdown of who they polled and admit a 4.4 MOE and her lead is gone and Trump is up. Nice

Florida is not a state Trump should worry about. The Southern-oriented Panhandle and North Florida are strong areas for Trump, and there is a large contingent of non-Jewish white people from the Northeast, in other words, Trump’s own kind. Add in the Miami Cubans and it is highly probable Trump will win there. The governor and attorney general are both Republicans and strong Trump supporters, who will see to it that South Florida Democrats don’t go overboard on fraud.

Trump will win FL.

Hillary’s rally in Orlando was poorly attended.

Hillary is done.

Djt +5 in FL. this is BS. Now that the Haitians know the Clinton stole from them there goes a big block of FL. voters over to Trump.

This poll:

40 D
37 R
23 I

from 2016 Florida voter registration:

38 D
36 R
26 I

so this poll is not the biased one out today, but still, I would think this poll under-estimates Trump by a couple.

“hrc will get miami and the keys, “

Miami-Dade, yes, but the Keys (Monroe County) were almost 50/50 in 2012 (the results match the statewide results in 2012) ... if the pig-bitch from hell is winning the Keys, we have a problem ... fortunately, she’s not winning the Keys from what I understand :-) .

Maybe replace “Keys” with “Ft. Lauderdale” :-).

Suffolk is the outfit that in earlier polls (don’t know about this one) asked for “youngest voter in the home.” Horribly skewed left.

I moved FL and OH and NC into Trump’s column three weeks ago. I think he has CO, IA, ME2 for the electoral college, but that’s not good enough. I want PA, VA, NM, all of ME, NH, and WI.

There have been lots of Puerto Ricans that have moved to Florida over the last few years and this will be the first time they can vote for President.

Back home they voted Democrat.

We don’t know how they will vote in Florida.

I may be blind as a bat, but I see very little evidence of support for Clinton.

You’ve got your anarchists out there, but I’m not convinced they’re for her either.

4.4 MOE? The poll is crap. Prolly small sample size, oversample dems, women, transgendered Swedish coal miners, etc, etc.

Old cheer used by rivals:

“We are loyal and true, Suffolk U!”

The last Sufflok poll (8/1 - 8/3) had Clinton up +4.
