New Poll Has Very Bad News for Donald Trump in Key Swing State of Florida, and That's Not the Only Place He's Struggling

New Poll Has Very Bad News for Donald Trump in Key Swing State of Florida, and That's Not the Only Place He's Struggling

With the global pandemic bringing daily life in the United States to a screeching halt, the 2020 campaign has become somewhat of an afterthought as Americans focus on staying healthy and practicing social distancing.

But though the campaign trail is no longer in full swing, voters across the country can't help but see this crisis as a test of competence for President Donald Trump and a test of leadership for former Vice President and likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden.


If a new poll in the swing state of Florida is correct, Trump is getting the short end of the stick.

The poll, from the University of North Florida, found that 46 percent of Florida voters would back Biden, while only 40 percent would back Trump if the election were held today.


That's an about face from the narrow victory Trump enjoyed in the state on the night of the 2016 election.

The poll also found that 53 percent of Florida voters don't approve of Trump's handling of the pandemic, and even more—58 percent—don't trust him to deliver accurate information regarding it.

People weren't surprised to hear that a majority of Floridians don't trust Trump to deliver accurate information regarding the national crisis.





All in all, the poll spells bad news for the President.



Those aren't the only states where Trump is struggling against Biden in the polls. Other recent polls have Biden up in Michigan and Wisconsin.


In fact, the poll averages bear this out in crucial swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and even Arizona.

As we learned all too vividly in 2016, polls mean nothing if people don't vote.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
