Hillary Clinton Leading Donald Trump in New Florida Poll

October 14, 2016 - 6:00pm

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton continues to gain ground on Donald Trump in Florida, widening her lead in a new poll released Friday.

The Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey found Clinton routing Trump by 46 percent with likely voters, while Trump receives 42 percent of the vote in a four-way contest. Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson received 5 percent of the vote while Jill Stein took 1 percent.

When PPP polled Florida voters two weeks ago, Clinton had a slightly smaller lead of 45 percent. When Clinton and Trump were placed in a two-way contest, her lead grew to 49-45.

An “Access Hollywood” videotape showing Trump making lewd comments about women last week has deeply affected Trump’s favorability with Florida voters. In PPP’s last poll, Trump had a net -11 rating (42/53) which has declined to 59 percent of voters viewing him unfavorably. 

“Donald Trump’s just getting even more unpopular as Election Day nears,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “With Hillary Clinton’s lead continuing to grow in states like Florida that she doesn’t even necessarily need to win the election, the question is becoming less whether she will win than the magnitude of the landslide.”

A slightly lower percentage of voters view Clinton unfavorably, with 51 percent saying they had an unfavorable opinion of her while 44 percent said they viewed her favorably.

Florida voters aren’t falling prey to Trump’s line of attacks on Bill Clinton’s past actions against his wife, either. Only 35 percent of voters say it’s fair to hold Hillary Clinton responsible for the behavior of her husband, but more than half -- 57 percent -- say it’s unfair to hold Hillary responsible for Bill’s behavior.

While numerous polls have shown a back-and-forth between the candidates with Trump up and Clinton up from week to week, the general trend has been in Clinton’s favor over the last few weeks. 

On top of that, state Democrats are on the up-and-up in vote-by-mail returns in Florida.

Florida, the nation’s most important swing state, is a must-win for anyone hoping to emerge victorious on Nov. 8. Both candidates have honed in on Florida in recent months, with both Clinton and Trump making appearances in the Sunshine State this week.

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence will be appearing in Florida this weekend at the Miami-Dade GOP’s Lincoln Day Dinner and will later headline the Republican Party of Florida’s annual dinner in Tampa Saturday.

Public Policy Polling surveyed 985 likely voters from Oct. 12-13. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.

Trump. A. Dam. Lying nasty. Old Man l. Wish l. Could smack. His. But in. Mouth. Only. Thing rigged. Up is. His. Body. And his hair and. Rigged. Face

Attention: All voters: Read the emails. They are from Clinton and her cronies. Can you believe they hate the American citizens that much? They hate Republicans, Latinos, Bernie supporters and even their own who are the Democrats. There is so much corruption in her party that her closest political cronies are calling her out in her own emails. They are even going so low as to call their bosses daughter a spoiled brat. Trump did not write these emails. She did and she is not even denying it. Educate yourself and read them for yourself. How can you vote for anyone that dislikes you and makes fun of you in her emails. Does she really think the Anerican people are that stupid? Maybe some of them are.

No sorry do not believe anything you said we all are with her latinos for Hillary stop talking about her.. If you stand with your racist clown that is your problem

Ray, do you really believe that a patriotic Trump rally can be compared to a Hitler rally? Hitler killed Christians, Jews and others. Trump has the endorcement of respectable Christian pastors and leaders. He believes in defending the freedom of speach for them , which freedom the liberal socialists are trying to silence.

GO TRUMP!!

At two Trump rallies I've seen a black preacher open the rally with prayer. At every rally I've attended there have been many women present. In Panama City there were thousands. When I asked several, they enthusiastically said they were voting for Trump. The Trump rallies are some of the most patriotic rallies I've ever been to.

GO TRUMP!!

Ever seen Adolf rallying Germany in the 30's? Seemed pretty patriotic. Insane, but patriotic.

GO TRUMP!!

If all of you truly believe Trump is going to win, check out the betting odds. I suggest emptying your bank accounts and throw it down on Trump to win. Bet a dollar win up to 8....see ya after the election when your all rich. Or NOT.

Sleeping 24/7. Think of what will happen!!!

ALL OF YOU ARE DISOBEYING TRUMP AND NOT PAYING HEED TO HIS WORDS, THIS IS BACUASE CLINTION SUPPORTERS BELLIES HAVE BECOME FULL OF UNLAWFUL AND HEARTS HAVE BEEN SEALED, THEY ARE NOT JUST AND ARE UNABLE TO LISTEN, THIS THE LAST WARNING FOR CLINTON SUPPORTERS, THERE IS LOT OF LITERATURE ON CLINTON IS AVAILABLE ON THE NET THAT HOW WICKED SHE IS, SHE IS A WAR MONGER AND HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THE STATE FOR PAST DECADES IN POWER, AND HER SUPPORTERS EXPECT HER TO DO WONDERS IN NEXT 4YRS. AMERICANS WAKE UP YOUR COUNTRY IS DIEING, MORE OF ISIS WILL COME TO USA, BECAUSE SHE IS THE BIGGEST SUPPORTERS OF AND CREATOR OF ISIS,

Your an idiot. Just like the idiot your supporting. Please do as he asked and go vote on November 28th.. Morons.

There you go Tim. Spoken like a true 'adult' supporting Hillary! GO TRUMP!!

"unlawful and sealed heart" , "Has done nothing for the State" "Wicked" And stating negatively about this wonderful "country dying" I couldn't tell . Where you talking about Trump? Clearly you have no knowledge about Clinton and her Service to this country. All Trump has done is ripped off the hard working middle class that Built his building for him and manipulated the laws of this Government by claiming Bankrupcy to avoid paying these hard workers their wages . Oh and let's not forget he owes the Government 900 Million in Federal Taxes! This disgusting Trump foul pig that you think is so great ,... This sexual preditor racist is only supported by the 35% white Americans who think white supremacy is still the model to follow. His logo "Make America White Again" Hint.. Look at the states that actually have him as winning? You are definitely a Trump supporter (brainwashed uneducated moron) and should be shame of yourself! I have News for you !! This country is Already Great! It's a melting pot of immigrants and if you travel all over the world at all you would realize it!! It's no reason why many countries think Americans are Arrogant,.. Because of Americans like you !

Grow up, Ana. ALL Americans are entitled to their own opinions. If you disagree, leave! GO TRUMP!!

Thanks for your sanity. I cannot understand the hate mongers who follow this man. The jobs you seek are no longer in existance. Coal is on the way out. Hillary is realistic about what is needed, education in another field, say solar. There would be pleanty of jobs, no black lung disease, and isis would be digging potatoes out of the sand for food, as thdir sgollen oil would lose its value. Also no more of our young soldiers would need to die. The planet would slowly regenerate, if it is not too late, and Trump would claim he always knew that this was the answer and never said global warming was a chinese conspiracy, ta da

Ana, You need to EDUCATE yourself. Trump didn't write her emails, she and her cronies did. Who do you think wrote the thousands of emails that were leaked? She is the one that said awful things about you and every other American. You are right, this is a great country, however it is going down hill fast. People all over the world used to admire our country and wanted theirs to be just as good. Their opinions are changing about us. Many of them think our country is in decline. That is why many citizens of the United States are leaving our country and going to theirs. I know this because I travel weekly to many foreign countries and I have done this for 38 years. You are right that Trump didn't pay federal taxes for many years. The reason is because our tax LAWS said he didn't have to. When I file my taxes every year, I go by the tax laws. I write off the deductions it says I can write off. I don't know of anyone who pays more taxes to our government than is required of them. Trump didn't pay taxes because our tax laws said he didn't have to. I am approaching my senior years and I have had a great life in the United States. I started working at 9 years old and have worked very hard all these years. As I approach retirement, I am considering all my options. I may be leaving this country for a better life in another country where I know my money will give me a higher standard of living. A YOUNG friend of mine who voted for Obama in his first term has already packed up and left and lives in New Zealand. She says she is never coming back to this country to live.

Have a great trip Cindy! Some people here, just like Ana and Jason, choose to spout false information as though it were true! Shame on them for badmouthing either candidate without bonafide facts! New Zealand is beautiful, especially this time of year. Another consideration of mine would be Australia. You live there, abide by Australian law and have no problems. They will NOT wipe the snotty noses of immigrants just because they're demanding it! I wish you well,Cindy. GO TRUMP!!

He is not racist!!!!!

All lies about Trump by the media.If Hillary was in jail where she belongs there wouldnt be an election.Shes going to ruin our country.Im voting Trump believe me hecwill win.

If She gets in this Country will never be the same The people who are voting for her needs to wake up She is lying to you She ins't going to do nothing for you.

Trump is not perfect, however I feel Clinton is going to sell our souls to the devil for her benefit. Look at the leaked emails. She hates mainstream America, Bernie's basement dwellers, needy Latinos, etc... Where do you Clinton supporters fit in? She even hates you too. Read the emails. She says she has to say one thing to the American people while believing the opposite in her private life. In her emails she says she doesn't want Syrian refugees fleeing to Jordan because a vetting system is not reliable. She even says a terrorist may be let in that country by mistake, however she is letting thousands come to our country. She holds the safety of the citizens of Jordan higher than your safety. When a terrorist attack happens in the US after she is elected, please don't complain. When your taxes go up, please don't complain. When you can't afford your company's insurance or Obamacare, please don't complain. When your quality of life is awful, please don't complain. The Trump supporters don't want to hear your complaints.

All these trump supporters can say out of their mouth as a rebuttal and deflection is " "emails" and " Bengazi." However these trump supporters love thier " maternity leave" their healthcare, right to chose, and the fact that EVERY single child ( rich or poor) can get Excellent healthcare in this country! I am a medical person that has Worked in medicine all over the world! USA by far has top leading medical care! Where else in this world can you walk in a hospital ER and get free care even if you don't have a dime are homeless or just refuse to pay your medical bills all together? is she perfect? No. Has she worked all her life to helping the middle class ? Yes . Just look into her involvement in getting children healthcare in this country. Is she a racist sexual offender that puts down every culture that's not A white gringo? No . I cannot imagine someone as uneducated about foreign policy and the US ammendments bring United States of Amerca President. He can't even answer questions about this Government that my 14 year old kid can! Trump needs to go back into his little trump world and stay out of Government ! The world laughs at us whenever he speaks his gibberish.. Clearly showing he has no factual knowledge about what's really going on in the world !

I'm okay with her tax plan (the Wealthy- (anyone that makes $250,000 or higher) getting Increaed in Taxes to help the poor in this country. I'm one of those that make six figures. Im also one of those that practice medicine and help All Americans receive great health care in this county and have been involved with other countries and their health care! I'm definitely supporting Hilary !!Trump is Trash talking and instilling fear into vulnerable uneducated americans who believe whatever come out of his mouth and doesn't Check the FACTS .

Look again at her tax plan! I am upper middle class and trust me, there is not love for me in her tax plan. My taxes will be going up under her plan. Notice she is not detailed for the middle class, however use her tax plan calculator, not pleasant. She is full of shit just like the leaks have been describing her. Trust me, with her in office the poor will remain poor just the way liberal officials like it. The middle class will remain stagnate, and the rich will be generating less jobs for people. Regarding Obamacare, how do we say disaster! She never mentions the millions that have lost their plan. Even her hubby silly Willy said it was a train wreck. Trump/Pence 2016!

You cant be a dr when you cant even spell Hillary.Really???
