SHOCK POLL-Trump leads Bush and Rubio in the Sunshine State

For the first time this year, Donald Trump tops a state poll of GOP presidential candidates in Florida.

A St. Pete Polls survey released on Wednesday shows the New York businessman with 26 percent support, with Jeb Bush in second place with 20 percent.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is in third place with 12 percent, and Marco Rubio is in fourth place with 10 percent. He’s followed by Dr. Ben Carson at 5 percent, Ted Cruz and John Kasich at 4 percent, and Rand Paul at 3 percent. 16 percent are unsure or are supporting another candidate not named in the survey.

When it comes to the GOP Senate race, however, there is no clear front-runner at all, some 13 months before the primary election.

No.

Trump is giving them exactly what LBJ told him he could do, via his famous quote.

In this case Trump is focusing on dehumanizing Latino's, not African Americans.

And it is working.

The Sunshine State knows both men extremely well. Trump is a blowhard who's been on their teevee sets so they love him.

"Favorite Son" candidates only do well in their home states if they've done well for their home states. That is not the case with either Jeb! or Rubio.
