Florida poll: Trump, Biden in dead heat in head-to-head matchup

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/445076-florida-poll-trump-biden-in-dead-heat-in-head-to-head-matchup


President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are in a dead heat in the crucial swing state of Florida, according to a new poll released Wednesday by Florida Atlantic University (FAU).

Trump and Biden each got 50 percent support among registered voters surveyed in the Sunshine State, possibly previewing a contentious showdown in a state that is a key battleground in the 2020 election.

Trump is buoyed by a net-positive approval rating in Florida, with 47 percent of registered voters saying they approve of the job he’s doing while 44 percent disapprove. The result is a three-point uptick from FAU’s March poll.

The poll shows Biden putting up the best fight among Democrats against Trump, as registered voters favor the president over any other contender by narrow margins. Trump has a two-point edge on Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a four-point advantage over Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and a six-point lead over Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).

The poll found Biden leading Sanders among every age group but 18-29 year olds.

I may never get that image out of my head.

That may be the most unattractive attempt at sexy I have ever seen.
