FAU Poll Shows Trump Closing to Within Three Points of Clinton in 'Must-Win' State of Florida

FAU ^ | 10/26/2016 | Staff

Trump leads among those who plan to vote on Election Day, however, 50 to 36 percent.

What an interesting set of figures. By a margin of 50 to 36 voters plan on voting for Trump. Wow! That is huge. Sundance has projected that Trump will win Florida by a margin of 55-45. This latest FAU poll seems to be pointing in that direction.

Those numbers are for white voters.

Not sure this constitutes good news: “Among likely voters in Florida, Clinton leads Trump 46 percent to 43 percent with 6 percent undecided.”

That poll does not make a lot of sense. Independents for Hillary by 8? Most polls show that independents favor Trump by that amount or more. Also, the reported early vote does not match the early voting figures we are seeing from the Florida Department of Elections.

how is he up 14 points and at the same time three points behind her?

[mrs9x]

Also, all of these polls are kind of dumb now that we have raw data in the amount of about 2 million votes cast in Florida already. We have 2 million people casting ballots and we are relying on a poll of 500 likely voters?

[GilGil]

That means it is even more positive for Trump.

In Tampa Hillary only got 300 People

Trump over 20,000.

[GilGil]

So what does the raw data tell you and what is your source?

[GilGil]

Those people have not voted yet and the polls are skewed! Read the internals.

What is FAU????

[Democrats hate too much]

In Tampa Hillary only got 300 People, Trump over 20,000.

-And half of Hillary's 300 people were probably just Trump supporters just curious what she was going to say.

Who is Sundance? I think things look good in Florida, but 55-45 is a bit optimistic.

[Jeff Chandler]

Those numbers are for white voters.

"Where the white voters at?"

[Boogieman]

Trump already won Florida. Hillary closed up her campaign offices there months ago because the internal polls told her she had no chance there, same as with Ohio.

Florida Atlantic University.

A Boca Raton school. Not bad.

But I don’t know much about the polling wing.

[usafa92]

It’s an FAU poll. Trump has already won Florida based on early voting and absentee statistics. He will win Florida by at least 5 pts. There should be nobody wringing their hands over an FAU poll.

[SoFloFreeper]

Not true. She has been all over Florida. Same with Trump.

“What is FAU????”

Apparently two vowels and a consonant waiting for the X to arrive.
