New front-runner? Mike Bloomberg in first place in new Florida poll
Florida Politics ^ | February 14, 2020 | Ryan Nicol

A shocking St. Pete Polls survey late last month has Mike Bloomberg surging to second in the Florida presidential primary. The newest version from the same outfit, released Friday, shows Bloomberg is now slightly ahead among Florida Democrats, edging out former Vice President Joe Biden.

St. Pete Polls conducted the survey among likely Florida voters. More than 27% selected Bloomberg as their top choice. Biden secured just under 26% support in the survey.

That’s within the poll’s margin of error, which is 1.8 percentage points. But it marks a drastic shift from the previous snapshot of the race taken by St. Pete Polls, when Biden performed 15 points better.

Is this really a surprise? Half the population of New York and New Jersey are moving to Miami and Tampa-St Pete!

You make a great point.

For 40 years they’ve been telling us how great socialism is. So now we have a socialist candidate and no Dem elite wants him. Why?

CUZ THEY KNOW IT’S A MASSIVE POLITICAL LOSER IF PEOPLE REALLY SEE WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.

If you like miniature mayors
and getting bought with disdain
If you're not into freedom
if you have half a brain
If you like making no decisions
Wrapped by miles of red tape
I'm the one that you looked for
Vote for me and escape (your freedom).

Bloomberg can buy all the ads he wants. He's 78 and we'll see if he has the physical stamina for an actual national campaign. He may wind up making Hillary '16 look active by comparison.

Aside from that, there is no way at least a third of registered democrats will vote for an elderly New York billionaire with deep Wall Street connections.

In 2016 Trump pulled off the unthinkable by hijacking a moribund major political party and making it his own. Bloomberg is completely delusional if he believes he can do the same with the Democrat party.

Trump is wise to sit back and watch the D infighting at this point. There's plenty of ammo to attack nanny-state Mike "Big Gulp" Bloomberg if he manages by some trick to buy the D nomination. He has zero authentic grass-roots support.
