Biden tops Trump by 9 points, 49-40 percent, in a Fox News survey of Florida registered voters. That’s up from a 3-point edge in April (46-43 percent).

Among those “extremely” motivated to vote, Biden’s lead grows to 11 points (53-42 percent).
Click to expand...
The former vice president owes his advantage to the backing of Hispanics (+17 points), women (+18 points), and Millennials born between 1981 and 1996 (+30).

In addition, some groups that are key to a Trump reelection split down the middle, including men (46 Biden vs. 44 Trump) and voters ages 65 and over (47-48 percent) -- Trump’s 8-point edge among white voters (42-50 percent) also trails expectations.

Independents go for Biden by 22 points (40-18 percent); however, a large number, 42 percent, are undecided or voting for a third-party candidate.
Click to expand...
By wide margins, Florida voters prefer Biden to Trump to manage immigration (50-40 percent), coronavirus (49-36 percent), and race relations (52-34 percent).

By a 4-point spread, they trust Trump (47 percent) over Biden (43 percent) on the economy.

I quoted the majority of important data, and there's further break-out within the article.

I'm not sure what to say here. Accept for my last entry, the numbers seem atrocious for Trump - if they're accurate. Biden has multiple paths to win, including with losing Florida. Trump on the other hand, absolutely needs Florida to win. And with far better numbers in 2016, he carried Florida by only a single point.

My suspicion is the political pendulum will swing back somewhat from this current hard-core swing to Biden. But at the moment, it's looking pretty ugly for Trump.
 
Trump's base is swinging over to Joe Biden. I'm amazed.

Next the evangelicals will be switching to Joe Biden. They'll figure out Jesus wouldn't want them to vote for Trump.

I don't see evangelicals doing the switch. I may be wrong but they've thrown their lot in and I don't see it changing.

I'm blown away by Florida Seniors (just barely) flipping for Biden!

I guess Seniors aren't happy being trapped in their homes and nursing homes watching twenty & thirty somethings partying away, spreading the virus throughout the public, while they suffer being locked-down.

Agreed. But seniors on the other hand surprised me, here.

It turns out completely ignoring a global pandemic is a terrible re-election strategy.

Trump bringing the COVID Express to Jacksonville might have something to do with it.:mrgreen: Flagrant disregard for the health and safety of seniors just might piss seniors off.

I live in a very red county in S.C. So far in my neighborhood, four ‘Biden for SC’ signs have gone up. No trump signs yet (I’m sure they are coming, though). I never saw one Hillary sign back in 2016. I know a few hardcore republicans who are fed up with trump and a few more who admitted to me that he botched this entire covid response. Now, will they vote Biden? I hope. People are souring on him for sure.

Straight-up, with the poll under-reporting I believe may be occurring, Trump will likely take 3 of the 4, with the lone Biden win being Florida. Of course, that alone should do it.

People finally are waking up and realizing that although the Democrats are far from perfect, the Republicans have lost their way in whom they are supposed to be working for.

Even in a redneck swamp like Florida.

You know, that's a good point.

I recently posted that DeSantis' unpopularity increasing as Florida's pandemic gets worse, along with his tying himself to Trump, could effect Trump. I was shot down by another poster, but I think my theory is reasonable.

They don't have to vote for Biden. All that's needed is for them to stay home & not vote for Trump! That'll in itself, will do it. I have one 2016 Trump voting family member doing just that - staying home.

Excellent point. I assume a lot of trump 2016 voters will do just that - stay home.

Trump has always tried to shape reality for his supporters, but now reality has gotten away from him. He's trying to deny COVID now, but when the hospital rates skyrocket and the death rates go up he won't be able to hide it. It's terrible that it has to be this way, but this is what happens when an incompetent boob gets elected president.

He is going to lose by more than 150 EV's.... which is good. There needs to be no doubt about the outcome of this election.

I hope he gets Mondaled.

And even worse for Trump, they're no longer dying far away in Blue State cities. They're dying in the heart of Trump country.

At the moment, it's looking pretty ugly for the pollsters

Again, 44% of those polled were Democrats, whereas the Florida electorate was 37% Democratic in 2018

Polls with Democratic oversamples, even if they are weighted, are the harshest on Trump - it could be unintentional, it could be intentional, but this is now the 5th example of a "bad news for Trump" poll having Democratic oversamples in the past few weeks

Irrelevant. Your idea that you know more about polling than the people who do it for a living is just plain silly.

This time it was those Trump haters at Fox “news” again.

Why would you suspect correctly weighted polls to be inaccurate?
