Hillary Clinton leads all Republican challengers in Florida by 2-8 points




Hillary Clinton has leads of 2-8 points over all of the potential GOP contenders in the
state. Rubio comes the closest at just a 48/46 deficit and Bush is down by a similar
margin at 47/44. Rand Paul trails by 4 at 46/42, Mike Huckabee's down 5 at 49/44, Chris
Christie and Ted Cruz each trail by 7 at 48/41 and 49/42 respectively, and Ben Carson
(49/41), Rick Perry (50/42), and Scott Walker (49/41) all lag Clinton by 8 points.

There is simply no realistic path to the White House for Republicans without the Sunshine State.

1. Hillary got my Florida primary vote last time. Even though it did not count.

She will not get my primary vote this time.

2. This is actually terrible news! 2 to 3 points! Is this within the Margin of Error?

This isn't good news for Democrats. Hillary Clinton is not unknown in Florida or anywhere else.

3. 2-8 Points Not 2-3 Points...

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

5. It should even be THAT close!! Then again, it's probably a meaningless poll

[Corey_Baker08]

6. I Agree Also They Have Been Getting Alot Of Press Recently While The MSM Is Stuck On Hillarys Email

10. True story

Florida knows her better than just about anywhere outside New York. Her numbers should be much stronger in any poll taken down there.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

11. Agreed. It's also odd to have a point spread that wide. Between 2-8 points?

That's why I question the poll's methodology.

Still, even if the true number is 8 points, that's way too close for me.

12. This state elected Rick Scott governor--twice.

Obama BARELY won it against Rmoney.

Any lead for a Democrat there is a good one.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. We're talking about Hillary Clinton here, though. Not Obama.

More important, however, is that Jeb Bush seems to still be very popular in Florida unlike the present governor. I've ran into even some minorities who seem to love Bush and I can't believe my ears! People are such idiots! They are so easily led and will believe anything told to them.

[geek tragedy]

15. Is there any evidence Clinton will do worse than Obama did? nt

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. Maybe. Maybe not. She is running against an argubly stronger candidate in Jeb Bush, no?

Again, Jeb was and still is popular in Florida, unlike Pappy McCain and Romney.

I'm just concerned that people are being duped by this Bush guy and will buy into this "compassionate conservative," pro-immigrant, "I'm not like my dumb-ass brother" bullshit.

[geek tragedy]

19. If Jeb is still popular there, that's trouble for us, though

the demographics have changed since he was governor.

Important to keep in mind that Florida is a must for them, and a victory lap for us.

We can win without Florida, they can't.

I think Scott Walker is going to be their nominee in any event.

4. It's GOP versus GOP wanna-be.

[craigmatic]

7. If the lead is not by over ten it's close enough to steal

[4dsc]

8. Throw in a 3rd Party candidate and see what the results are

I would love to see how she polls if someone like Bernie Sanders was in the race.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Interesting poll, Hillary was the only Democrat on the poll.

[MaxRobes]

13. So she is essentially tied (within the margin of error) with Rubio and Bush

in Florida before she actually announces. Hardly a done deal. This will be a close election no matter who runs; 48 /52 will look like a landslide if recent elections are any indicator. And maybe not. Perhaps every woman in the country will vote for Hillary, but I sure wouldn't bet the farm on it.

16. Bush leads in Florida and Paul in PA.

17. There appears to be some slippage...

Let's see if it's an anomaly or a trend.
