New Florida Poll Shows Good News for Trump

A new Bendixen & Amandi International and the Miami Herald poll shows increasing Hispanic support for Trump in Miami-Dade county. The poll also shows Trump Gaining ground overall compared to 2016.

Trump now splits Latinos, 48/47 — a sign that Biden may well lose the Sunshine State, and not by a small amount. Clinton won the hispanic vote 62/35 statewide in 2016. A poll of 1,000 Florida Hispanic voters released last week by the Democratic Latino research firm Equis Research showed Biden with a 16-point lead statewide among registered Hispanic voters. 

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the county by 30 points, but still lost the state by 1.2 percent. But Biden is only up by 17 points. The poll of 500 likely Miami-Dade voters, released Tuesday, found Trump behind Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden 38% to 55% in Miami-Dade. Democrats typically need to run up the score there in order to compete in statewide races.



Other polling shows the Herald post isn’t an outlier, Quinnipiac showed similar results in a recent poll.
