Florida is a key swing state that President Donald Trump will likely need to win in order to get
re-elected. Currently, only former Vice President Joe Biden presents serious competition to
Trump in the Sunshine State.
Statewide, Biden holds a narrow lead over Trump, with 47% of Florida voters backing him,
45% supporting the president and 8% undecided.
Trump currently has a clear advantage over his other top potential Democratic challengers.
Statewide, Trump crushes Elizabeth Warren (51%-42%), has a relatively comfortable margin
over Bernie Sanders (49%-44%) and a slimmer lead over Pete Buttigeig (49%-45%).

That's probably why Warren doesn't poll well in Florida against Trump, because she's slandered as a socialist. They do however, have warm feelings for Joe Biden, because of his connections to the Obama Administration, who was popular with them.

(145,687 posts)After the 2010 election, the GOP had 101 seats in the Texas house compared to 49 for the Democrats and had a super majority. We flipped 12 state house seats in 2018 and two congressional seats (Lizzie Fletcher and Colin Allred). The DCCC is targeting 6 congressional seats in Texas and the Texas state party had targeted 19 state house seats.

(7,277 posts)the one that changes the game from here on out. If Dems can't win MI, PA and WI - I wouldn't be worried too much about FL. FL Dems have had 18+ years to get their house in order since 2000. 2018 was the biggest blue wave since Watergate, but FL was a wipeout.

(68,715 posts)he doesn't win those states...we compete in all 50 states and Biden at the top of the ticket...we may very well get the Senate...it is still a long shot but not impossible. I am astounded that some supporters of Warren and Sanders would be willing to lose states we have a chance of winning because the polls don't favor their candidates...a primary is supposed to field a candidate that can win a general period...all this fandom I see here (not saying you) is frankly nauseating.

(7,277 posts)If Texas can be coaxed along way of CA, it would be fast less important to rely on aging Florida's ballots of broken dreams to secure the Presidency. Warren, the Oakie, may well be the wrong candidate to bring Texas home, after the Voting Right's act. As LBJ said, 'there goes The South for a generation' . The GOP played the long game with their Southern Strategy. It's time to think beyond the next election, to imagine a Texas as Blue as California. It may take a decades, but it is there for the taking. Demographics alone are on our side, as much as they were against us in the past. A blue wall from WA to TX is the GOP's greatest fear, for good reason.

The old cubans are not much of a voting block any more, but they do contribute a lot of money and control a lot of press coverage.

(1,713 posts)A close friend and 30 year campaign veteran works in Florida. His job is campaign management. He told me 6 months ago that Biden was the only candidate that would beat Trump there. He said Trump internal polling has Biden up in FL, AZ and GA. Why do you think Trump has been focused on Biden for the last year? Of course, he is just one guy but very, very well connected on ground. We win Florida... game over early.

The Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy survey of registered Florida voters showed Biden with a narrow 47-45 lead over the president, within the 4 percentage-point margin of error.
Biden was the only candidate from either political party with a positive approval rating in the crucial battleground state. Forty-five percent of respondents had a favorable view of the former vice president; 41 percent had a negative view.
Trump had a 46 percent approval rating. Forty-seven percent of respondents disapproved of the presidents job performance, the poll found.
