A new Monmouth University poll puts Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ahead of Republican opponent Donald Trump by nine points in Florida, continuing the trend of her widening her lead in the swing state.
Clinton carries the four-way election poll among likely Florida voters, 48-39, with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gaining 6 percent of the vote and Green Party candidate Jill Stein following with 1 percent.
A CBS/YouGov poll conducted in early August showed Clinton five points ahead of Trump, 45-40. Monmouth University has not conducted a previous poll of the 2016 general election.
The poll was conducted Aug. 12-15 over the phone among 402 likely Florida voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average shows Clinton leading Trump, 46.3 to 40.3, in Florida polls.
Stop the good news! I am floating away!
Latina’s love me!
Gives me some hope, a little hope that this country has not gone completely batshit crazy. They have been blanketing the airwaves for the last three months with anti Trump ads with only now the occasional pro Trump or Anti Clinton Pac ads. We don’t want to see any more British tabloid headlines “How could 300 million people be so stupid” like after Bush in 2004
Looking at the current polling VA and Florida have moved firmly into the Hillary camp. The battle is now centered in Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina and Missouri. I can hear Republicans every where crying things were going great “'Til the landslide brought me down.” Apologies to Fleetwood Mac.
No relaxin’ till November 9th
