Good result for Clinton.

Compared to the result of AUG 22-24, it is an improvement of +2.

Splendid poll. Hillary is spanking Trump harder than a teenager spanks his monkey during a YouPorn watching session.

...no?

"A total of 820 registered Florida voters were interviewed statewide by telephone. All indicated they were
likely to vote in the November general election."

A voter's indication that he/she is likely to vote isn't a reliable LV screen.

I'm fine with it if that's what MD wants to use, I just prefer stricter LV screens. It stands to reason that if you call 800+ people, chances are that not every one is going to vote.

But admittedly, I missed that sentence in the article. It's probably a similar LV screen to what some other pollsters use (in fact, PPP used the same screen in 2008, I believe, when they got stellar results). In a super high turnout situation it works well.

"Indicated" doesn't necessarily mean "said," it could mean that they answered questions that indicated they were likely voters.

Even better...the +2 is relative to mid-Aug numbers, when Clinton had the upper hand in FL.

Don't worry, he only shows up IF he can "unskew" (or otherwise spin it for Trump).

if hillary gets FL she is going to get some other states too....so 300+ would be a done thing.

Looks like those Angry FL Women are taking a dump on Trump! If only the state could collectively grow a brain and dump the Senator who approves of Trump, as well.

Isn't Mason-Dixon considered the gold standard of polls in Florida (or am I mistaking it with another)?

Regardless, glorious news!!!

Not anymore, I don't think. But if anything I believe they tend to be Republican friendly so very solid result for Clinton.

Dang!

those 90-1 numbers among African-Americans is insane.

Also, the leads in SE FL, and most critically +7 in the Tampa-St Pete area aren't looking positive for Trump.

Granted he does have a significant lead with the 50+ crowd and Anglo voters that vote more reliably than Latino voters.

Florida will come down to turnout and GOTV most likely.

FWIW in 2012 they stopped polling Florida weeks before the election saying it was safe for Romney.

That was Suffolk. Mason-Dixon actually released a poll about a week before the election showing Romney 5 points ahead.

You are correct, My bad.

They did miss Florida badly in 2012, had romney +6 4 days before the election and said "Romney has pretty much nailed down Florida."

Mason-Dixon was the Florida gold standard until, when the choked. They had Obama and Romney tied with Hispanics. Not good.
