Sunshine State Shock Poll-Clinton 49% Drumpf 37%





Whether it’s Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, the Republican presidential nominee looks like a sure loser to Hillary Clinton in Florida because of the Republicans’ lack of popularity with crucial voting blocs in the state, according to a poll conducted last week by the business lobby Associated Industries of Florida.

Clinton would wallop Trump by 49-36 percent if the election were held today and she’d best Cruz 48-39 percent, according to the poll of 604 likely Florida voters.

“In this critical swing state, it is clear to us that Republicans continue to suffer substantial brand damage amongst all segments of the ascending electorate (younger voters, Hispanics & No Major Party voters) and this presidential campaign has clearly exacerbated these attitudes,” Ryan Tyson, a Republican who serves as the group’s vice president of political operations, wrote in a memo to his members.

While parts of it are like the deep south, much of the state is not. So may sun birds down there now and a growing racial mix makes Florida something, almost unique in the US. Look at New Mexico, same thing, but less water and tourism. Liberals moving to warmer states combined with a growing Latino population have turned the state blue.
