With fewer than 14 weeks to go before the November presidential election, Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump in both two-way and four-way Florida ballot scenarios, according to a new Suffolk University poll of Florida likely general-election voters.

In a two-way race, Clinton (48 percent) leads Trump (42 percent) by six percentage points, with 9 percent undecided.

In a four-way scenario, Clinton (43 percent) leads Trump (39 percent) by 4 percentage points, while Libertarian Gary Johnson receives 4 percent and Green Party nominee Jill Stein gets 3 percent, with 11 percent undecided.

According to the latest registration statistics from the Florida Division of Elections, 38 percent of registered voters are Democrats, 36 percent Republicans, and 26 percent independents.

“Hillary Clinton is leading thanks to southern Florida and women,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. “Trump is even seeing some Republicans holding back at this point while Clinton is a bit stronger among registered Democrats.”

In the two-way ballot test, Clinton led by 12 points among women (50 percent to 38 percent) while carrying the south Florida region 57 percent to 33 percent. Trump won among registered Republicans 74 percent to 16 percent but Clinton performed a little better among registered Democrats, besting Trump 81 percent to 13 percent.

1. May not seem like it but a 6 point lead in Florida is big

Florida has been very close since 2000 I believe. Not sure what it was in 2004 but in 2008 and 2012 it was really close. So 6 points is nothing to sniff at. Thats a big lead for Florida.
