Trump Humiliated On Own Turf As Hillary Clinton Leads In Florida

A new poll reveals that Hillary Clinton is riding a wave of Hispanic and female support to a lead over Donald Trump in Florida.
According to the Suffolk University Poll:
In a two-way race, Clinton (48 percent) leads Trump (42 percent) by six percentage points, with 9 percent undecided. In a four-way scenario, Clinton (43 percent) leads Trump (39 percent) by 4 percentage points, while Libertarian Gary Johnson receives 4 percent and Green Party nominee Jill Stein gets 3 percent, with 11 percent undecided.
….
In the two-way ballot test, Clinton led by 12 points among women (50 percent to 38 percent) while carrying the south Florida region 57 percent to 33 percent.
Trump won among registered Republicans 74 percent to 16 percent but Clinton performed a little better among registered Democrats, besting Trump 81 percent to 13 percent.
When Clinton and Trump voters were asked if their vote is for their candidate or against the other, 67 percent of Clinton voters said their vote was for her while 28 percent said it was more of a vote against Trump. Conversely, only 52 percent of Trump voters said their vote was for him, while 39 percent said it was more of a vote against Clinton.
President Obama is the most popular politician in Florida with a 52% favorability rating. Donald Trump is the least popular with a 54% unfavorable rating. Trump is being beaten in Florida by women and Hispanic voters. During the campaign, Trump has frequently promised that he will win Florida, but the Sunshine State is looking fairly static.
Polls released today also show Trump losing badly in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Voters who may not have paid attention to the primaries are getting their first eyeful of the presidential candidates, and it is clear that they do not like what they see out of Donald Trump.
No poll is one hundred percent accurate, and leading in the polls does not equal a victory on Election Day, but over the past week, there has been a clear trend line established towards Hillary Clinton.
The presidential election is moving in her direction, but it is up to Democrats to turn that trend into results at the ballot box.
Trump calls Florida his second home, and boasts about how much property he owns in the state, but Hillary Clinton is beating the GOP nominee on his own turf, and embarrassing Donald Trump in Florida.
