Clinton Crushing Trump In Key Florida County (poll)

Hillary Clinton is so much more popular than Donald Trump among Miami-Dade County voters that even a significant number of Republicans support her in the likely presidential match-up, a new local poll has found.

Clinton leads Trump by a whopping 52-25 percent, with 23 percent of respondents undecided, according to the poll by Bendixen & Amandi International for the Miami Herald, el Nuevo Herald, WLRN and Univision 23.

One-fifth of Republicans said they back Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has yet to garner a GOP majority, with 48 percent of Republicans saying they’d back him and nearly a third undecided.

“This should be an early sign of potential concern and worry for the Trump campaign,” said pollster Fernand Amandi, a Democrat who is not working for any presidential campaign. “If she gets 20 percent of Republican voters statewide, it’s going to be a very early night on Nov. 8.”

Why wouldn't a Democrat, even a Republican-Lite one, poll well there? North Florida is solid red, you'll find Trump polling well there, aside from the University towns of Gainesville and Tallahassee. Generally, the bell-weather area of the state is the I-4 corridor from Tampa to Daytona. It's pretty purple. Whoever does well there is likely going to take the state. Citing Zmiami-Dade as an indication of Clinton strength is like citing SAn Francisco.
