Reuters Poll: Trump Likely to Win Florida

An election analysis conducted in the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project shows that the race has tightened considerably over the past few weeks, with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump projected to win Florida, an essential battleground state, if the election were held today.

The project, which is based on a weekly tracking poll of more than 15,000 Americans, shows that the 2016 presidential race could end in a photo finish on Nov. 8, with the major-party candidates running nearly even in the Electoral College, the body that ultimately selects the president.

The States of the Nation project, which delivers a weekly tally of support for the candidates in every state, shows that the race has tightened in several traditional battlegrounds. Pennsylvania has been moved from a likely win for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to a tossup; Ohio has been moved from a tossup to a likely win for Clinton. And Florida is now considered a likely win for the Republican nominee, with 50 percent support for Trump to 46 percent support for Clinton....

How can Reuters have Trump with 50% in Florida, but only 38% nationally?

From this article

Ohio has been moved from a tossup to a likely win for Clinton

Um what??

[Voluntaryist]

Exactly! This story is just a cover for Reuters BS poll imo

[dp0622]

yeah, i read an hour ago that he was down 4 in a rooters poll :)

what nonsense.

every other poll has him up by 2 to almost 7

[Parley Baer]

It just shows how screwed up this poll is.

Who is allahpundit? He said there is a big PA poll coming out Monday which has Twitter land a buzz!! By the reaction of some of the liberals there it ain’t good! I’m hoping for good news for trump..keeping fingers crossed!!

...the 2016 presidential race could end in a photo finish on Nov. 8...

Like hell it will. They're nowhere close even now, liars.

Call Roto-Reuters , that’s the name, and away goes veracity down the drain.

Reading what the media means class in session:

“Clinton will win big”, “Clinton in command”, “Clinton with clear electoral college path” = Clinton up 1 point

“Thd race is narrowing”, “It will be a photo finish”, “the race is tightening”, “Clintons lead has largely evaporated”. = Trump + 5

This poll also just showed Clinton 4 points ahead nationally, and was panned on FR earlier today.

“Ohio has been moved from a tossup to a likely win for Clinton.”

That is not good news at all, actually very bad news.

There in no path to the White House for Trump without winning Ohio.

Let’s hope Trump can do more campaigning in Ohio and turn it is his direction.

[nhwingut]

Last 5 polls from Ohio have Trump in lead, with two of them +5. Reuters has some weird methodology.

[2ndDivisionVet]

It’s bologna. Trump is winning in the last three Ohio polls.

allahpundit is a blogger on the hotair.com website. It use to be a fairly reliable conservative website but they have lost their minds over Trump.

I looked at his twitter feed and he's been going back and forth with a guy named Brandon Finnigan who says he's the creator of the election night returns site @DecisionDeskHQ and the DDHQ exit poll, whatever that is.

Going back a few days both are noting that the lack of a Pennsylvania poll seems suspect since it's such an importation state. Then today Brandon (who I think is a lib) starts to get the vapors because he is hinting, via a blurred out pie chart, that he has seen a soon to be released poll showing what he calls a tie (but it looks like Trump is ahead to me).

Take a look. you decide

[fortheDeclaration]

It isn’t true, relax.

It’s not likely folks, its going to happen...

FL, OH and NC are locked... ME’s own governor is reporting Trump is likely to get 3 of the 4 ME EC votes... Even 538 can’t hide this anymore... NV is about to flip on their board as well.

They have flipped these states... but more importantly LOOK AT THE RUST BELT... other than OH... even they are showing all of it getting lighter in blue, with the exception of IL.. EVEN MN is lighter...

Keep an eye on the next few days/weeks.. You are going to see PA, WI and MI fall... They won’t all fall on the same day mind you, but those dominoes are going down... Also keep an eye on RI, NH, ME and NJ.. I expect some if not all of those dominoes to go down shortly as well, even on their clearly biased analysis.

Speaking of the Northeast... I've picked up some wonky vibes from Connecticut.

I think Trump might lead a revival of the Republican party in the Northeast.

[HamiltonJay]

I have no doubt Trump will get more in the NE... he’s the first candidate in a long time with a message that can play there, just like the rust belt... combine that with the worst candidate in history that no one wanted running for the Democrats and you are going to see Trump run away with it...

Once the damn fully breaks for Trump... and as the momentum builds you will see this happen... you are going to see epic shifts quickly.

The debate, assuming Trump just comes out of it looking reasonable will be the nail in Hillary’s coffin... October will be Dems scrambling just try to hold onto states they never dreamed would be in play.
