New Florida Poll: HRC: 46% Trump 42%

Democrat Hillary Clinton has a small lead over Republican Donald Trump in Florida, an exclusive statewide News 13/Bay News 9 poll shows.

In a survey of 1,678 likely voters, our Florida Decides poll found Clinton had 46 percent to Trump's 42 percent, if the election were held today.

Libertarian Gary Johnson took 2 percent of the vote and Green Party candidate Jill Stein took 1 percent.

Four percent chose other and 5 percent are undecided.

The two presidential candidates also split the results when you break the voters down by age, with one notable exception: 51 percent of voters age 18-34 support Clinton, while only 28 percent support Trump.

Clinton also takes 76 percent of the black vote and 61 percent of the non-Cuban Hispanic vote. Trump takes 45 percent of the Cuban vote compared to Clinton's 34 percent. Eleven percent of Cuban voters are undecided. Trump also has a small lead over white voters, 47 percent to 41 percent.

Clinton is finding her foothold in the more progressive southeastern part of the state: Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton.

Trump is leading in Northwest, Northeast and Central Florida. Trump has a slight edge in Tampa with 45 percent of the vote, while Clinton leads in Orlando with the same slight edge of 45 percent.
