Joe Biden, Donald Trump in statistical dead heat in Florida

A new St. Pete Polls survey shows Joe Biden could deny Donald Trump a repeat win in Florida this November.

The poll puts Biden ahead of Trump by less than one percentage point. Biden leads Trump 48.3% to 47.5% among registered voters, with 4.2% undecided.

Digging in further, Biden dominates Trump among black voters, leading 84% to 8.4%. Biden also narrowly wins among Hispanics, 48.1% to 46.6%. Trump leads large among white voters, with a margin of 56.3% to 40.6%.

The former Vice President also holds leads among the 18 to 29 and 30 to 49 age brackets, while Trump is ahead with older voters.

Biden’s overall lead is within the survey’s margin of error of 1.3 percentage points. But should Biden take the Sunshine State, it opens a potential electoral path for Democrats.

that ANY percentage of our population would support this orange murderer - especially in a state where the percentage of the population is at a greater risk of injury/death because of his lack of preparedness and action.

We will need to overwhelm the GOP in November so that there's no question Biden has won.

I suspect that the only way enough Floridians will turn out to vote out the Republicans is if they’ll hurt enough.

I’d hoped for a soft landing from Republican stoopid for over a decade, but I fear that despite my belief in reason and compassion, the only way some people will wise up is if their fingers get burned.

Florida seems to have a plurality of that sort of fool.
