Poll: Biden retakes lead in Florida (Biden 35%, Bloomberg 25%, Sanders 13%)
The Hill ^ | February 27, 2020 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 02/27/2020 4:44:36 AM PST by karpov

Former Vice President Joe Biden is reclaiming his frontrunner status in Florida, according to a survey released on Thursday by St. Pete Polls.

The poll shows Biden pulling ahead of the pack in the Sunshine State with 35 percent support. Meanwhile, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg fell into second place with 25 percent support.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who has taken the lead in polls nationally after back-to-back wins in the New Hampshire primary and Nevada caucuses, is running in a distant third in Florida. The St. Pete Poll pegged his support in the state at 13 percent, a sign that the recent traction he has enjoyed in other states isn’t translating in Florida, where voters will cast ballots on March 17.

No other candidate registered double-digit support in the survey. Former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg finished with about 8 percent support, while Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) registered 5 percent and 4 percent, respectively.

The St. Pete poll, conducted from Feb. 25-26, suggests that Bloomberg’s political stock has taken a hit in the wake of the Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas last week, when he came under frequent attack from his rivals and struggled to fend off criticism of his mayoral record, treatment of women and controversial past comments.

A St. Pete Poll released just before the Las Vegas debate showed the former New York City mayor in first place in Florida, with 32 percent support. Within a matter of days, that support slipped 7 points, the new poll shows.

Socialism is a reality.

Communism is a Utopia that won't even reach the ideological dictatorship of the proletariat stage because the strong centralized entity will never cede power. The bourgeoisie will just be replaced by whoever the leaders preaching the communism the best and manages too fool enough Useful Idiots to slide/murder their way into controlling the centralized power.

Poll: Biden retakes lead in Florida (Biden 35%, Bloomberg 25%, Sanders 13%)

Title of the thread says it all.

Sanders does not “galvanize the dem’s base”.

I know this is just Florida and Florida is an kind of an outlier with all the Cubans, but the Cubans aren’t THAT big a percentage of the population and Sanders is slipping in other states as well, such as in SC.

To my mind, that’s a shame. I wish Bernie could pull it off.

Not only would Trump beat him by a bigger margin than he will beat anyone else, but Bernie at the top of the ticket will lose more house and senate seats than will any other dem top-spot nominee.

I guess the dems sort of know that, which is why Bernie is starting to slide.

Anyway, I’m cross-over voting for Bernie in my state.

Sanders will not need FL, just several Rust Belt States will do while securing the coastal NE/C/W States.

They are only calling landlines (does anyone still have one?)

I believe this would cause an over sample of elderly, particularly in FL.

Are we going to actually BELIEVE that poll? Have we forgotten the slanted, mendacious, dissembling polls that had Shrillary beating Trump by enormous margins a mere 3 years ago? I really don’t care how the Rats jiggle and twist their polls; but I’m not hesitant to point out blatant BS when I see it, either.

Under socialism, corporations and a plutocracy own the government. The transition into to Communism requires blood. This is why the Commie flag is red.

“Bluumberg” must be putting some serious $ in the Florida ads. There’s one on every time you turn on the TV.

It will be fun to find out how accurate the polls are.

I think the poll is probably right. Sanders praised Castro. That won’t play in Fla, not even with the rats. So where else do they go? Clyburn probably moved enough blacks back to Joe to give him the lead. So Joe needs to stop talking now.

What a bunch of cretins and lunatics on the Democratic slate. The scary thing is that any of these people have supporters.

Biden? Suffering from dementia. It’s so obvious, how can there be any people who don’t see it?

Sanders? A socialist who has never made an honest living. An old man of questionable health who thinks Castro helped the Cuban people. A Jewish person who surrounds himself with anti-Semitic people.

Florida and any other southeast State are non sequitur.



Bernie can pick off Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, and North Carolina without Florida and win comfortably.

The only reason to cross-over for Bernie in the primary is too cause a brokered convention and angry division.

People on this website said the same dang thing about how easy it will be to defeat Obama in BOTH elections (Heck, just look at his full Islamic name and we got a FEMALE on the ticket/2012 it was the healthcare plan that would do Obama in) and look what arrogance did for two election cycles.

Acting like a demented drooling vegetable is actually a winning campaign strategy.

Who knew??

Right

Yes, but in 2008 it was the beginning of the Palin influence. Don't underestimate Sanders, the dems who are not Sanders supporters will rationalize voting for him in two ways:

1) Even if I vote for Sanders, his policies will not be enacted and just relegated to adjusting ACA by EO's

2) Sanders is not Trump
