Trump gains in Florida polls despite Democrats lead in early voting

President Trump is leading for the first time in Florida polling, according to Real Clear Politics on Tuesday, even as Democrats lead in early voting.

According to the website’s average of polls, the president holds a slim 0.4 percent lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden heading into next week’s election.

Nearly 2.7 million Democrats have already voted in the Sunshine State, just narrowly beating the nearly 2.4 million early voting Republicans.

Almost 1.3 million Floridians have submitted their vote without an affiliated party.

Florida has historically been a highly contested swing state with 29 Electoral College votes up for grabs. Only twice has a Democratic candidate won the presidency without winning Florida since 1860: John Kennedy in 1960 and Bill Clinton in 1992...

Although Hillary Clinton lost Florida to Trump in the end, she maintained a lead in the polls by 2.3 percent one week out from the election in 2016.

Clinton and Trump went back and forth in the polls during the previous six months, but Biden has held a consistent lead of at least one point until Tuesday....

The trend is real in the polls & also what we are seeing at these incredible Trump rallies.

On the ground in Florida, you can almost feel it. Zero enthusiasm for Joe. I have seen a couple yard signs on the side of the road and maybe three or four bumper stickers total right outside of Tampa. Oh, and a small car parade a couple weeks ago that someone called the cops on.

The hammer is coming. And it is going to be quite enjoyable.

I have been attending Trump flag waves in Central FLorida for months. Today we probably had over 350 people on one corner. The other side had 8 BLMers kids and zero Biden. Thousands of car passing with 95% thumbs up and horns blowing. It is amazing and the excitement is real

I call them the straws in the wind: the size of rallies, the yard signs, the “better off” poll, vote change inquiries, documented enthusiasm gap, registration changes, early voting results,
Etc. It’s a blizzard of straws in the wind

Democrats know that the polls tend to close even or in the opposite direction of their candidate(s).

Thus, they knew that they needed to get out the vote early, in order to overcome any changes of mind towards the end. No doubt, there are many thousands with second thoughts about how they voted, but, it’s too late to change the way they voted.

The time to stop mail-in voting and the length of time for early voting, was months ago.

I cringe when I see the RCP average polls.

Paint the Trump rallies in Volusia? We got rallies in Spring Hill, not as big but the same positive reactions.

That’s how we’re supposed to react. There’s tainted polls in there.

Yup. I watched some of your vids. Also met the Black man with the rainbow Confederate Flag at the Sanford rally. I'll be looking for the vid of the 0bama trolling 🙂

Does anyone realize how absurd this sounds? Absurd. Maybe, she was never ahead in the polls and they were wrong. Derp
