[h=3]Presidential Race Up for Grabs in Florida[/h]PPP's newest Florida poll finds a very tight race for President in the state. In the full field Donald Trump gets 44% to 43% for Hillary Clinton, with Gary Johnson at 5%, and Jill Stein and Evan McMullin each at 1%. But in a head to head between Clinton and Trump, the nominal lead flips to Clinton at 47/46. That's because voters who support one of the minor candidates or are undecided in the full field pick Clinton by 12 points over Trump if they had to choose just between the two major candidates.
Much has been made about how Trump will struggle in Florida because of his weakness with minorities and that's certainly the case. Among non-white voters he trails Clinton by 49 points, getting just 22% to her 71%. But white voters still make up the majority in the state, and with them Trump has a 27 point advantage with them at 60/33. If he's able to win the white vote by that much, Clinton doesn't have much chance of running away with the race in Florida. The state will be the same toss up it's accustomed to being.
