Hillary Clinton continues her lead over Donald Trump in Florida in a new poll released Sunday.
The CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker survey found Clinton ahead of Trump with likely voters, taking 46 percent to Trump’s 43 percent.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson took three percent of the vote while Green Party candidate Jill Stein took two percent of the vote.
The majority of voters have already firmly made up their minds about who they want to vote for in two weeks. Most voters who said they were casting their ballot for Clinton or Trump -- 79 percent -- said they very strongly supported their candidate, while another 15 percent said they strongly supported their candidate and probably wouldn’t change their minds.
Most Florida Republicans (48 percent) say they are excited about Trump’s campaign, and most (21 percent) say they would go back and vote for Trump again in the Republican primary, but another 26 percent say they would have go back and voted for someone else if possible.
After the third presidential debate, over a third of voters said they came away feeling more negative about both candidates, though slightly more voters (41 percent) said they felt more negative about Donald Trump than they did Hillary Clinton (37 percent).
Nearly a quarter of Clinton supporters who hadn’t voted already said shaking up the political system would be a reason they would vote for Donald Trump, though the majority of her supporters said they wouldn’t vote for him for that reason.
Most Trump supporters (96 percent) said they would not vote for Clinton just to have a woman become president.
Most voters (59 percent) do not feel Trump is trying to respect democracy, while 41 percent believe he is respecting democracy. More than half of voters -- 62 percent -- say they believe Trump is really trying to win the election, but nearly three-quarters of them (69 percent) say they believe Trump is trying to talk about the things he cares about.
Voters are nearly split on whether Clinton is trying to respect democracy by a margin of 54-46 percent.
Sixty percent of voters say they believe the two candidates should accept the results of the election, while a much smaller amount -- 18 percent -- say they should not. Twenty-two percent said they were not sure.
Both candidates are making their final pushes in Florida this week. Trump is planning several campaign stops from Sunday through Tuesday while Clinton will be making her rounds throughout the state later this week.
The poll of 1042 likely voters was conducted Oct. 20-21 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.6 percent.
