Poll Shows Clinton Leading Trump by 6 Points in Florida



Press Release: Poll Shows Clinton Leading Trump by 6 Points in Florida
Statement of Methodology: This survey of 500 likely Florida general election voters was conducted between August 1 and August 3, 2016, and is based on live telephone interviews of adults who indicated they were likely to vote in the November 2016 general election for president. Each area’s quota and demographic information -- including race and age -- was determined from previous like elections and 2010 Census data. Samples of both standard landline and cell phones were called using a probability-proportionate-to-size method, which means that the phone numbers assigned to each county were proportional to the number of likely voters expected based on similar past elections. The 67 Florida counties were grouped into four general regions. Respondents in the household were selected by initially asking for the youngest adult. The margin of sampling error for results based on the total sample is +/-4.4 percentage points. Error margins increase for smaller subgroups in the cross-tabulation document that follows. All surveys may be subject to other sources of error, including but not limited to coverage error and measurement error.

A lot of Cuban Floridians must be splitting their votes-Rubio/Clinton DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2016 #19
Knowledgeable observation, and yes understandable. Hortensis Aug 2016 #20
They probably think if they vote against Rubio they are rewarding Trump for emasculating him. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2016 #21
I thought he did a better job of emasculating Trump. :) Hortensis Aug 2016 #22

I keep seeing Pro-Rubio groups running ads about how Murphy is coming to steal Social Security and kill your grandma. Murphy has no name recognition and little ad presence. Attaching Rubio to Trump might be a way to win over some of those Clinton/Rubio voters.

Usually the Democratic senate candidate in FL runs ahead of the Democratic presidential candidate.

But I'm also remembering PR went big for him over Trump.

Thought I remembered something else and yes -- Rubio was named to the PR debt crisis task force back in July. I had a nasty clutch then and hoped that did not mean Mr. Be Whatever Sells Best was going to run for his old Senate seat. Sigh...

I guess he is staying in...too bad because he will bring down Murphy. I did see that he was dropping out but the stories were not accurate I guess.
