Biden Takes 13% Lead in Florida, According to Quinnipiac Poll

[Jersey Devil]

With a surge of coronavirus cases in Florida making it a hotspot, voters say 79 - 20 percent that people in the state should be required to wear face masks in public, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of registered voters in Florida released today. There is overwhelming support for requiring face masks among all ages and every other listed demographic group.

With the start of the school year approaching, more than six in ten voters, 62 to 33 percent, think it will be unsafe to send students to elementary, middle and high schools in the fall.

In the race for the White House, former Vice President Joe Biden opens up a big lead over President Trump. Voters back Biden 51 - 38 percent over Trump. In an April 22nd poll, it was close with Biden at 46 percent and Trump at 42 percent.

1. Good. Slowly but surely, we're going to stomp trump's a&& so far into the ground, that they'll...

have to bring in bulldozers to dig his a&& back up out of the ground. It's just going to get even worse for trump as time goes on, as he's not showing a damn bit of sorrow for the tens of thousands of American deaths at the hands of the CV, and nor is he even showing any signs of being 'presidential'. Joe Biden, by being as quiet as he's been, ironically enough has been far more 'presidential' than trump has ever been.

2. Good news, but were any of those polled ex-felons who can't afford the fine?

If yes, they won't be able to vote this year.

3. Didn't someone post a nutty theory on how that was going to cost Biden FL?

5. If he (or any Dem POTUS) wins FL, TX, VA, they can lose EVERY other swing state, plus lose both

6. Holy shit

Riotous! Can you imagine the Rethugs on election night with that map?

7. especially if they won the popular vote by millions too (obviously not talking about 2020

Will be interesting to see if this still works after the EV votes are shifted following the census. I am certain it will, as TX and FL have massively grown in the past 10 years. We really need to expand the size of the House to 1001 or more and more equitably apportion the EV votes. That helps fix the EC, and it helps us in the House too, as big Blue states like CA are just fucked now in both. Add DC and PR as states, and split CA into NoCal and SoCal and we add 5 or 6 (PR MIGHT in some elections elect a Rethug, but that is fairly doubtful now that the GOP has went full KKK) new Dem senators as well, which helps sort the Senate. Mass migration by Dems to GA, FL, NC, and TX (and maybe some knife-edge swing states like WI, PA, in addition to those 4) from solid Blue states (or solid Red ones) also would help a tonne. It is hard to get people to move in the US though, especially from many of the Blue states. Dem-friendly billionaires could pool together to move infrastructure and jobs there (the types of jobs and infrastructure that attract an overwhelming Dem-type of voter.)
