White Voters Keep Trump’s Hopes Alive in Must-Win Florida

Donald J. Trump has almost no plausible path to the White House unless he wins Florida, a rapidly changing state where Hispanic voters could deal a decisive blow to his chances.

But a new poll, by The New York Times Upshot/Siena College, suggests that Mr. Trump is keeping his hopes alive in Florida, the largest and most diverse of the crucial battleground states. The reason: White voters favor him by a large margin.

Mrs. Clinton leads by a single point, 41 to 40 percent, among likely voters in a four-way race that includes Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. The race is tied in the head-to-head race, 43-43.

The poll, the first of its kind by The Upshot, was based on voter records that allow unusually detailed analysis of the electorate.

6. I see it as good news.

This was taken September 10-14. During Clinton's bad weekend. Other polls before that were giving Trump a slight lead. Now that Trumps gone back to calling for assassinations and taking credit for terrorist attacks it doesn't seem likely he'll go up. The poll shows Clinton needs to GOTV. The less likely someone is to vote, the more likely they are to vote for Clinton.

4. Well some papers are asking for an investigation

and if there is an investigation in the below pay for play, it will be used as a front that is being used as a political ploy so close to an election.
And damn near every news channels is owned by some oligarchy that has right wing owners, so the public gets nothing again.
Don't ya just love the Telecommunication Act-----------------I don't.

This election shouldn't even be close, but the media has fabricated a means to make it close all in the name of commercial greed-----------------amazing.
The same media that is barred to ride on plane, or to hold a news conference, with the said individual with a orange bigot fascist mop on his head, and who, will not release his tax returns (and they -media journalists -still do not to keep hammering on where the audit letter is and to produce one, that he is being audited------------they have already moved on in there dysfunction ) to see if he is helping a dictator in Russia, that supports another dictator in Syria, who is a terrorists, and if he used a foundation as a means for political pay for play in two states (Florida and Texas, that we know of now), while back at the ranch, the country is still being served some BS about a e-mail thing.
Everything about this hypocrite is in those tax returns, everything about his character---which isn't much----------------and the "polls' show a virtual tie --------------------how is that

5. Not this white Floridian

My DNA shows 100% European white. I was disappointed , hoping for something more exotic. Half Western and half eastern nothing exciting. That puts me with the white supremacists, yuck
