Florida polls show Biden 3 points ahead of Trump — with undecideds leaning toward president
SOUTH FLORIDA SUN SENTINEL ^ | SEP 15, 2020 | ANTHONY MAN

With just 10 days until millions of Florida voters begin casting their presidential ballots, the race couldn’t get any closer, with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden tied with President Donald Trump.

A Florida Atlantic University Poll released Tuesday found 49% of likely voters favoring Biden and 46% for Trump, a 3-point difference that amounts to a statistical tie.

FAU pollsters found almost everyone has their minds made up — pro or con — about Trump, Biden and the presidential race with just 5% of likely voters undecided.

A Monmouth University Poll, also released Tuesday, also found a 49% to 46% percent contest, assuming voter turnout is about the same as 2016. If voter turnout is somewhat higher than 2016, the poll found the race would be 50% for Biden and 45% for Trump.

As with the FAU poll, either scenario is a statistical tie. Monmouth said 3% of the likely voters it surveyed were undecided.

The FAU and Monmouth results show a trend that’s been seen in other Florida polls since the Democratic and Republican conventions last month, and reported by political strategists and party leaders from both camps: an exceedingly close presidential race in Florida.

Pollsters = Hucksters!

Political scientist, Lindsay Rogers, coined the word pollster as a pejorative takeoff of the word huckster.

The news media and the government have created a charade that serves their own interests but misleads the public 24/7.

Well it probably means Trump is slightly ahead but I keep waiting for Biden to begin a slide all things considered but it just isn’t happening. Now that little punk from NY is pouring 250 million into Fla to help Joe. We need something to break the dam here.

Continuing to move in the right direction.

Gives the resident pearl clutchers something to panic over, but the bottom line is the President is close enough to where he needs to be in enough states to win this.

Now it is up to his execution and our enthusiasm. So, please ignore the morons in the MSM and on here who keep shouting it’s over for the President.

It’ll be close, but I still believe he is going to get there and win this thing.

In 2016 FLA Cubans voted for Trump by 13 points. Today he is up by 38 points. Qpoll leftist leaning has Trump leading among all FLA Hispanics by 4 points which is an increase of two points in two days. FLA has photo ID voting and felons can’t vote.Biden isn’t close and will lose by a wide mmargin

Half the elected GOP want one party (Democrat) rule, that’s why they keep voting for amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority.

These polls are some of the most creative works of fiction in modern media. They serve several purposes such as discouraging participation but their most useful function is to lend the planned fraud an atmosphere of plausibility.

My gut feeling tells me this election will not even be close. Trump in a landslide.

Never, ever in swing states do polls show the GOP candidate winning. Those same polls always show red states barely giving the advantage to the GOP.

Re: “Florida in person early voting starts on Oct. 24”

Thanks.

Someone needs to explain that to the Sun Sentinel.

I got my “six weeks” number from the first sentence in their article:

“With just 10 days until millions of Florida voters begin casting their presidential ballots...”

Rican emigrants from the island vote conservative. Rican idiots from NYC vote Democrat. They like to stay on the plantation.

Floridians must have the same brain-dead disease the the folks here in New Hampshire have.

If Biden is leading in FLORIDA of all places ... Trump is done and so are we.

WTF is wrong with people!!!!

From 2016:
Florida Atlantic University Poll: Clinton Poised to Take Florida in Final FAU Poll

The final pre-election poll of likely Florida voters by Florida Atlantic University has Hillary Clinton with a three point lead over Donald Trump 46% to 43% with 6% undecided. In the Senate race Sen. Marco Rubio leads 46% to 42% over Rep. Patrick Murphy. The poll was conducted October 21-23 and carries with it a 4.3% margin of error.

Two interesting things. First this poll had Clinton ahead by the same margin it has Biden leading. Second, Trump won FL by 1.2%. So the poll was off by 4.2%, essentially right at the margin of error.

Either this is a total fantasy made up by MSM or there are a lot of stupid or senile people in Florida.
