Harris in ‘striking distance’ of Trump in Florida, pollster says
The Hill ^ | 08/13/2024 | Tara Suter

Vice President Harris is nipping at former President Trump’s heels in his home state of Florida, a pollster from Suffolk University says after a new Sunshine State survey.

The USA Today/Suffolk University/WSVN-TV poll found Harris just 5 points behind Trump among likely Florida voters, 42 percent to 47 percent, just outside the poll’s margin of error.

Florida has a million more registered Republicans than Democrats, and Trump won the state in both 2016 and 2020.

“Given those circumstances, I was surprised that Harris is within striking distance, being only 5 points down,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, told USA Today in a Tuesday report.

Among Florida independents, the vice president leads the former president with 41 percent support to 34 percent, with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. taking 10 percent.

It all depends on how much money the Democrats want to put into the Florida ballot factories.

It didn't work out for them in 2018, when the fag lost to DeSantis...

When you poll 80% Democrat then I’m good with those numbers.

The dems haven’t had their convention yet. Makes me wonder if all this BS they are trying to pass off on the public isn’t just to show up their own base and prevent a convention revolt.

We only believe the polls that show Trump has the lead. That’s the way we roll around here.

Laughable BS. She’s gonna get smoked. The Democrats aren’t even investing money into contesting Florida - they know its hopeless.

David Paleologos is suffering from severe depression since the Easter Bunny didn’t show up. Maybe we could all send him some candy. He likes those chocolate bunny eggs. Sometimes his mommy gives him one.
Time to grow up Dave!
