Poll: Trump soars to nearly 50 percent in Florida (January Poll Results)
Politico ^ | 01/20/16 | Eliza Collins

Posted on 02/21/2016 11:22:25 PM PST by Enlightened1

Donald Trump has the support of nearly 1-in-2 Republican primary voters in Florida according to a new Florida Atlantic University Poll out Wednesday.

Trump is leading in the state with GOP primary voters by a significant, 32-point margin, with 48 percent. His nearest rival is Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 16 percent, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush are the only others in double digits, with 11 percent and 10 percent, respectively.

 

Trump’s lead in that survey has been on a rapid rise since September 2015, when he came in at 32 percent, and support for Rubio and Bush in their home state has gradually declined over the course of the past four months. In that September poll Cruz was at 6 percent, Rubio was at 19 percent and Bush held 11 percent of the vote of those surveyed. In November, Trump took 36 percent, followed by Rubio with 18 percent and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 15 percent, who has dropped to 3 percent in the latest poll.

I agree. The latest polls that I have seen on Real Clear Politics this morning are from from Massachusetts and Michigan. Massachusetts shows Trump 50, Rubio 16, Kassich 13, Cruz 10, and Carson 2. Michigan shows Trump 35, Kasich 17, Rubio 12, Cruz 12, Carson 9. If these polls are to be believed it is starting to look a little ugly for the two Cubans.

I am sorry, I should probably have clarified that I agreed that the Florida poll results were a month old and not very newsworthy at this point. But I am glad that we also agree that neither El Cubano De Canada or El Cubano De Miami belong in the Whitehouse. I have this sneaking suspicion that despite what both claim, that neither really has any sincere desire to do anything about the border or the invasion of this country by illegals.

“I’m expecting ALL the establishment folks (including Cruz who needs their $ to run) to go in with Rubio in a last ditch attempt to stop Trump.”

Without a doubt. The reason is simple. Cruz is part of the establishment. He was a top level lawyer in the Bush administration and helped draft amnesty legislation that Bush was pushing. How in the world he’s managed to convince people he’s an “outsider” is ridiculous. I guess because he’s hated by everyone in the senate. That Cruz has not been endorsed by the first GOP senator should tell anyone all they need to know about him.

Depending on how bad Cruz gets beat up on Super Tuesday. If he gets crushed and reads the writing on the wall, I would be willing to bet he supports Rubio.....for a backdoor deal to be AG.

Oh my oh my. GO TRUMP GO

Levin, Rush, Rove and others will have a heart attack. The win in South Carolina just helped those voters who were on the fence in regards to Trump make up their minds.

It was a month old. I think it’s enough of an outlier to be skeptical. I think folks should take it with a grain of salt. We’ll see.

I agree.

Let me say this. We have put up with the Democrats, Clinton, Obama..., the Republicans like Bush and Bush...

We’ve put up with the majority in Congress, OURS!

So now I am faced with one Washington, outsider once again.

HELL NO!

I’m giving Trump a try, because I know what we’ve been getting from Washington insiders, and I want no more of it.

So call me any names you like folks, case closed.

I really have to start proof reading more.

My message came through, but it was an D- for production.

Thank you.
