Bloomberg +1 in FL C+ Poll over Biden - Sanders fading fast 4th Place at -17.

Biden still up in all averages. Florida has 248 total delegates. Roughly 3 times more than Iowa/NH combined.

Bloomberg 27, Biden 26, Buttigieg 11, Sanders 10, Klobuchar 9, Warren 5, Steyer 1, Gabbard.

Biden +4.9% over Bloomberg in wonky adjusted average.

Some Biden supporters whose main focus is defeating Trump started looking at Bloomberg as an alternative.

Bloomberg isn't considerably younger and he does not have foreign policy experience or federal experience. So he does not seem to be really better in any way.

Expensive ads have such an effect, that it is hard to argue that candidates don't need big $$.

'According to a Florida Politics analysis, Bloomberg has already spent at least $11 million on television ads in Florida’s major media markets while his Democratic opponents have spent nothing.'

Both Bloomberg and Biden earned more than double support of the next-highest competitor. Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg was barely ahead of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the survey. Buttigieg earned 10.5% of the vote, while Sanders sat at 10.4%.

'U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota — who earned a surprising third-place finish in New Hampshire — sat in fifth with 8.4%. U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren trailed with 4.8% and billionaire Tom Steyer at 1.3%.'
