Vice President Harris is nipping at former President Trump’s heels in his home state of Florida, a pollster from Suffolk University says after a new Sunshine State survey.
The USA Today/Suffolk University/WSVN-TV poll found Harris just 5 points behind Trump among likely Florida voters, 42 percent to 47 percent, just outside the poll’s margin of error.
Florida has a million more registered Republicans than Democrats, and Trump won the state in both 2016 and 2020.
“Given those circumstances, I was surprised that Harris is within striking distance, being only 5 points down,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, told USA Today in a Tuesday report.
That’s the currently polled support % iirc. Not that it’s a guaranteed pass, just that is where the support is currently at.
Edit: yup, that’s the polling

Some polls show 55%, some 58%, some 63%. Unfortunately it will require 60% to pass, so we will see what happens.
The annoying thing is those that are against have like half the support, the remaining percent are undecided/unaware.
Interesting
