Hillary Clinton Blowing Out Democrats in New Florida Poll

Former U.S. Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is out front with Florida Democrats while businessman Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., are ahead on the Republican side, a new poll shows.

St. Leo University released a poll on Wednesday showing Clinton with a commanding lead in the Sunshine State. A majority of Florida Democrats--51 percent--support Clinton. The poll was started before Vice President Joe Biden closed the door on running for the Democratic nomination and he places a distant second with 15 percent. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., garners 13 percent.

Democrats want the next President to continue the policies of Obama, policies and attitudes that are soon to destroy the GOP, or they are forced to come to their senses.

The calm and grace of Obama, not to mention his steady popularity, continues to drive them off a cliff.

The survey also asked 764 likely voters whom they would select for president given a variety of Republican candidates opposing Hillary Clinton. The results showed Clinton surpassed the leading Republicans. The margin of error for responses is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Democratic Candidate Republican Candidate
Hillary Clinton 47.0 Donald Trump 37.9
Hillary Clinton 45.8 Ben Carson 41.5
Hillary Clinton 45.8 Marco Rubio 39.1
Hillary Clinton 44.7 Jeb Bush 34.2
Hillary Clinton 47.4 Carly Fiorina 36.4


Some folks have been insisting that Clinton can't possibly win a national election. I';; let the survey data speak for itself.

7. With Florida in the GE, the WH is almost certain staying blue for 2017

Thank you for picking out and posting those numbers.

Looking good for next November, particularly with HRC destroying the two GOP native sons.

9. Well this poll is probably weighted heavily in favor of retiree and folks over 50.

When all the younger voters are counted I think the picture is a little different.

10. It seems odd to me that she is over 50%

in many of the polls mentioned on DU today. If they keep saying she's winning (like those on here) then the low information voter will think it true...sort of brainwashing those who do not have time to research. They just go to work, come home, eat and sleep. The MSM keeps saying it, the polls keeping (oddly) saying it, so it must be true...but wasn't it just before the debate that she seemed worried...I think she took out the big guns. Bernie is not finished yet. Feeling the Bern.

They might have different motives but that's just a baseless statement.

18. There is no odd about it. Her support is over 50% because it is actually over 50%

And always has been in every poll taken without Biden since this summer. Now that he is out, Clinton is absorbing about 70% of his support.

There is no great polling conspiracy.

What? What does "blowing out" mean?


Well it's better than her being "on Joe Biden".


If it's some kind of superlative, 51% isn't an amazing majority y'know.

16. Well if they are republicans should they be supporting Bernie?

I heard through the grapevine Bernie does well with that demo, or at least he will do a good job attracting it in the GE?

Not hugely surprising. Clinton's base skews older, bigtime, too.
