A new poll shows former President Trump leading Vice President Harris by only 2 points in Florida ahead of what could be a tighter-than-expected race in the red state in November.
Trump leads Harris with 49 to her 47 percent support in the Sunshine State, according to a Morning Consult poll released Monday. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus two points.
Yes, polls are flawed, the only poll that matters is the actual election, everyone needs to vote no matter what the polls say.
But Florida steadily slipping towards swing state status is worth noting. And this is a much larger poll with a much smaller margin of error than some of the recent polls which have claimed to show Trump suddenly gaining ground.
I really want to be pleasantly surprised therefore I don’t think Florida can pull it off and will vote for the weird fascists. Prove me wrong FL.
He wasn’t the hero we knew we needed, but he was there when it counted.
I’m not one for political branding , but I’d wear a shirt with that image/ text that says “Shirtless guys on meth riding alligators for Harris”
I think everyone would think I’m on their side.
A snapshot in time.
Make calls, knock doors, plant yard signs, volunteer at your polling places, talk to your family and friends, run registration drives, and, above all, get up, get out, and GO VOTE!
a SELF REPORTED snapshot in time
Florida is already a swing state and has been for ages. 2 of the last 4 elections it went blue.
It wasn’t a freak accident either. There’s no sane way to look at the last 70 years of presidential elections in Florida and determine it’s been a safe long-term bet for either party in that timeframe. It usually votes for the winner, but when it hasn’t, that loser has always (in modern times) been a Republican - so the state is at least much more electorally important to them than it is to Democrats. It’s very much always been a leans-Republican swing state.
Every state is a swing state. If more people realized that even most “stronghold states” are held by less than 20% of the vote, I think we’d see some real change in how we talk about elections
Texas is a non voting state, and that asshole AG is trying his best to keep it that way. If tx would vote, there wouldn’t be a republican party as we know it.
Democrats have been struggling in Florida for a while now, and most predictions have been assuming it would be going to Trump. That’s why all the focus is on Pennsylvania and far less is on Florida.
If it were to go blue again this year, that would radically alter the electoral math, and probably turn a close race into a massive blowout.
The same can be said for Ohio. Both of them used to be swing states, and potentially could be again, but are not currently.
