Underwhelming...

[Maxwell]

More than Obama won Florida by in 2008 *shrugs*

[matthew27]

Underwhelming...

Only 3 points ahead of one of the most disgusting individuals to ever run for the office. Sad.

[BundouYMB]

Underwhelming...

You're still going to be posting this garbage when Clinton wins by double digits, aren't you?

[rafta_rafta]

Underwhelming...

+3 in Florida is a great result. It's a swing state, you aren't going to see 10 point blowouts there

[dspNY]

Underwhelming...

It's an R+2 sample and she still leads by 3. That's pretty good because FL is D+2 in presidential elections

Party ID is 44R/42D/13I and the early vote stats are practically even with a trend to the Democrats

[heatcharger]

I know Survey USA's crosstabs are junk, but these are really funny.

[BoAtlantis]

Survey USA has had some terrible results since 2014, often with Republican's bias.

This makes me optimistic.

[Ronnie]

I won't unskew, but Trump getting 18% of blacks and only being 14% down with Asians seems rather fishy...

...Then again, SUSA always has bizarre internals and ends up coming out with plausible top lines anyway, so who knows.

By .10%? That's a tad within the margin of error.

[Dereich]

Any candidate on either side in Florida who does not eat babies or is not Katherine Harris is getting a minimum of 44/45%.

[ProudModerate2]

Clinton +3 is still a good number for Florida.
The consistent polls at around Clinton +4 are very encouraging.
It's a "solid" Lean D.

[Alcon]

Geez, relax y'all.  FiveThirtyEight's model puts Clinton at +3.6 in Florida.  This thing has a +/-2.8% MoE, which means everything from Trump +2.0 to Clinton +9.2 is within the MoE.  But we have plenty of evidence that shows Clinton has a lead of several points here, so complaining that this is within the MoE is silly.  The vast majority of competitive state polling is within the MoE.  That's because the MoE is generally about as big as the margin we say means a state is no longer competitive.  It's not a "statistical tie" (shudder) when you have 10 polls that all aggregate to Clinton +3, even if an individual poll with Clinton +3 is solidly within the MoE.

This poll is consistent with previous polls, consistent with where you would expect Florida to be relative to national average demographically, and consistent with a body of evidence that shows Clinton as an overwhelming favorite to win, probably by something like +6 nationally.  The overreaction to individual polls here gets tedious.

There you go again, trying to use math and logic on Atlas.

On the one hand, you can't people for being concerned and absolutely disgusted that a candidate such as Donald Trump could come close to being appealing to 45/100 of the people around them. On the other hand, you'd think that the shock of that now long-holding reality would being fading and would have evolved more into a smoldering gloom about human nature rather than an emotional distress anymore.

[Hammy]

Wasn't Romney leading by 2-3 points at this point in 2012? I'm a pessimist and even I'm starting to feel slightly more comfortable about calling Florida for Clinton based on results vs polling in previous elections.

[Arch]

Great results. Trump has not led in a poll in FL for a long time (same case in NC). We're less than 2 weeks away with people already voting folks. This is good news.

yep.

I'm concerned.  It does look like Trump has gained the equivalent of 1-2% nationally since the 3rd debate.

It what legitimate polls has Trump gained in?

We're not going to have any idea where this race stands percentage wise until next week. Until pollsters herd together to try and save their reputations, we're just going to have to deal with the huge variances in polling.(just like 2008)

I can't find any. HuffPo's Pollster is showing basically an identical margin for all of October so far.

RCP is showing the margin tightening, but that's because of IBD, Rasmussen and L.A times which they seem to include multiple times a week(WTF?).

OMG stop. Given new registrations (new registers aren't usually properly captured in LV screens) and Latino underpolling, Clinton being low-single digits is GOOD.

That's the thing. Lots of members here panic when they don't see consistent linear increments. For them to not panic, HRC would have to be polling +15 this week and >+16 the next. If they see +5 2 weeks ago and +5 this week, suddenly Trump is "gaining."
