Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished​



Race and age of Florida respondents seemed to correlate with which candidate they supported​

Harris campaign launches ad blitz criticizing Trump over health care

White House Correspondent

Donald Trump’s lead in his home state of Florida has dwindled, putting it in play for Kamala Harris, a poll suggests.

The former president leads the vice president by just two percentage points in the Sunshine State, where he has his Mar-a-Lago residence, according to a Thursday survey by Napolitan News Service conducted by RMG Research, which has historically favored Republicans.

There appeared to be a stark age divide in the poll’s findings.

Harris dominated young Floridians, with 55 per cent of those polled supporting the Democratic nominee, compared to just 43 per cent supporting Trump. The former president leads significantly with the older crowd; more than half of those 65 and older — 53 per cent — expressed backing Trump compared to 44 per cent backing Harris.

Men and women were also split over the candidates, the survey shows. Harris garnered the support of 49 per cent of women respondents compared to 47 per cent who supported Trump, but the former president raked in 53 per cent of male participants while Harris earned 45 per cent.

The race of the participants revealed the biggest margins.

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks at a campaign event, Aug. 18, 2024, in Rochester, left, and Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign event, Aug. 19, 2024, in York. A recent poll suggests that Florida could be in play for Harris

The majority of the poll’s Black respondents — 87 per cent — favored Harris compared to just 13 per cent who favored Trump. The vice president also earned the support of 60 per cent of Hispanic participants; Trump earned 37 per cent. The former president garnered 57 per cent of white respondents’ support compared to 39 per cent for Harris.

The survey’s narrow margin shows how much the political scene has changed since Harris entered the race in late July.

The GOP nominee was leading the state by nearly nine percentage points when Biden dropped out, FiveThirtyEight polling averages show. Harris has somewhat tightened the gap in a state that Trump won in 2020 by 3.3 percentage points.

Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison told reporters in September he believes Harris “has a shot” in Florida. “I keep saying folks, they’re going to be surprised on election night about what happens in the state, that you can’t give up on Florida.”

The survey was conducted from September 25 to 27, before Hurricane Helene barrelled through, rampaging the state and its neighbors. It’s unclear how the storm could have impacted voters’ views.

Harris plans to visit North Carolina, which was also devastated by the hurricane, to survey the devastation. Trump had visited earlier in the week. There, he asserted the federal response included a “lousy treatment to North Carolina in particular.” This claim comes days after the former president posted a Truth Social post falsely accusing the Biden-Harris administration as well as the state’s Democratic Governor Roy Cooper of “going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas.”

I'll bring it up again like last month. Trump needing to put any extra work in Florida and/or Texas means this is almost a wrap.

Of course still vote and vote early but the writings on the wall.

Question if that holds is how the down ballot fairs.

Trump: You know the market goes up every time I get a good poll number? And they get the credit for it. Isn’t that a terrible thing?

We break down Trump’s Butler rally, with none of the sanewashing you will see in the corporate media. This event was erratic, bizarre, chaotic, cultish, and full of lies. Trump and Allies Exploit Butler Return to Spread Misinformation About Hurricane Relief

Trump went straight from causing bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio to endangering people’s lives in wake of a hurricane. He is nothing but an arsonist. His lies are causing terror. It’s unforgivable and inexcusable.

Trump is lying about FEMA’s relief efforts.

FEMA is issuing $750 in Serious Needs Assistance for immediate distribution. Those in need can also receive other assistance once they apply for it.
FEMA will only provide $750 to disaster survivors to support their recovery.

[Quoted tweet]
Trump: This is the worst response to a storm or a catastrophe or a hurricane that we’ve ever seen ever. Probably worst than Katrina.. you know what they’re giving our people? $750

Trump: The White House is doing nothing.. Its largely a Republican area. Some people said they did it for that reason. I don’t even think they’re that bad. Probably, maybe they are

Remember, when Tim Walz messes up which year he was in China in the 80s, it’s a scandal. When he mixed up IVF with IUI treatment, it’s a scandal.

Trump straight up lies like this on a regular basis and it’s a “oh well, that’s Trump, he does these things” response.

@Acyn
Touted as a “special moment for America” by one of his allies, Donald Trump’s return to Butler, Pennsylvania, quickly turned into a platform for spreading falsehoods and misleading claims about the federal response to Hurricane Helene.

Get back to work, MAGA Mike. Enough games. More storms are coming and people are going to die because of you.

[Quoted tweet]
Speaker Mike Johnson will NOT be calling the House back early to vote on a disaster aid supplemental in the wake of the Hurricane.

He tells me the cost of damages has to be “tabulated” before a supplemental is considered and he argued they are a ways away from that. Congress will not convene for about five more weeks

Don't forget he's also underperforming in key Republican-locked states like Alaska, Iowa, and Nebraska :banderas:



Trump campaigning in NY of all places, when he should be worried about his home turf :gucci:

Q: I saw the governor of Arkansas said ‘my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble.’ How did that make you feel?

Vice President Harris: I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who are not aspiring to be humble. This is not the 1950s anymore. Families come in all kinds of shapes and forms
