Florida poll: Trump leads Rubio 36/18, Bush in fifth place

The new poll shows that Trump’s support has gone up to 28 percent among Republican and independent voters who lean Republican.

The Fox poll mirrors the results of a poll released on Wednesday from WBUR-TV, where Trump also is in first with 23 percent. Marco Rubio also received 13 percent to tie Carson for second place.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush showed no change in his support among New Hampshire voters, now at 7 percent, despite spending millions in TV ads in the state. Chris Christie and Rand Paul are tied at 5 percent.

Many polling experts have speculated that Carson’s support among Republicans may mirror the boom-and-bust arcs of previous insurgent candidates and could be a figment of the inability of early polling to predict actual results several months out.

Donald Trump leads the race for the Republican nomination in New Hampshire, while Bernie Sanders edges Hillary Clinton among Democrats. The General Election Sample consisted of 829 registered voters with a margin of error of +/-3.3 percent and a 95 percent confidence level.

A quick look at polls shows that Republican voters seem to welcome Trumps bombastic tone after last weeks assault on French civilians that left 129 people dead. Marco Rubio second at 18 percent, followed by West Palm Beach resident Ben Carson at 15 percent, and Sen. You have Trump at 24 percent, Carson at 20 percent and in the third spot is Rubio at 12 percent with Texas Sen.

Mr. Carson, meanwhile, had a 55 percent/26 percent split – down from a 63 percent/19 percent split in the last poll, though still second-best in the field. “Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent”.

Even so, the Republican Party of Florida jumped at the chance to needle the Democratic front-runner.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson may be faltering on the increasingly prevalent topic of foreign policy, but he still dominates Clinton 52% to 38%.

On the Democratic side, the FAU poll projects that Clinton will trounce Vermont Sen. Among likely GOP primary voters his numbers improve to 46 percent favorable and 41percent unfavorable.

Rubio voted against it because he said it weakened “U.S. national security by outlawing the very programs our intelligence community and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have used to protect us time and time again”. Our poll surveyed 389 Republicans and 369 Democrats.

Not helping Clinton is her favorability rating, the lowest of any top candidate in Colorado, with only 33 percent of respondents offering a favorable opinion of Clinton, compared to 61 percent who have an unfavorable view of her.
