Poll shows Clinton ahead of Trump in Florida, but race getting closer

Clinton has been running ads against Trump that largely rely on the Republican nominee’s own words disparaging various groups of people, including women, and has fundraised off his claim she is only competitive in the election because she has “played the woman card”.

Hillary Clinton has a 5-point lead over Donald Trump in the Sunshine State, according to a new poll from Monmouth University.

“Hillary can win just one (Florida, Ohio, or North Carolina) and win the presidency … or she could get over 270 by winning Colorado and New Hampshire … or Iowa … or Nevada … you get the idea”, Mook wrote, adding that Trump would need to win six of those seven to win.

O’Reilly wondered if Trump would allow himself to be baited by Clinton into saying something “explosive or controversial”, and posited that she might bring up Trump’s bad-mouthing of women, Muslims and Mexicans, and say Trump is not qualified to be president.

Clinton had a massive lead with African-American voters in the state, 98%-2%. Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, received 1 percent, and 5 percent of respondents said they were undecided. Siena’s July poll had Clinton ahead in the suburbs. Clinton, a Democrat, holds a 53-47 edge with women.

Clinton had the backing of 46% of likely Florida voters, while Trump had 41% support.

Almost a third of all voters, 32 percent, say that Clinton is not physically healthy enough to be president, while 54 percent say she is. Asked who they’d trust more to handle public health issues like Zika, 76 percent of Republicans picked Trump and 11 percent said Clinton.

The Monmouth University Polling Institute surveyed 400 likely voters on landlines and cell phones from September 16 to 19.
