*****BREAKING***** A+ RATED FLORIDA POLL -CLINTON 46 LA DEPLORABLE 41

West Long Branch, NJ - Hillary Clinton holds a 5 point lead over Donald Trump in the crucial swing state of Florida. This is slightly less than the 9 point lead she held in a Monmouth University Poll of Sunshine State voters taken last month. Sen. Marco Rubio is currently locked in a tight race with his Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy, ahead by a statistically insignificant 2 points after leading by 5 in August. The poll also found that voters are skeptical of Trump's recent attempt to draw a line under the Pres. Obama birther controversy.

Among Florida voters likely to participate in November's presidential election, 46% currently support Clinton and 41% back Trump. Another 6% intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 1% support Green Party candidate Jill Stein, with 5% who are undecided. This compares to Monmouth's August poll which had Clinton at 48%, Trump 39%, Johnson 6%, and Stein 1%.

Clinton has an overwhelming advantage among Hispanic, black and Asian voters who make up about one-third of the electorate, garnering 69% of this group's vote to 16% for Trump. Her lead among non-white voters was a similar 69% to 19% last month. Trump's 53% to 35% advantage among white voters is also about where it was last month (51% to 37%).

Elders in our state are paying attention. They aren't straight R voters. They are solidly R but do pay attention. I feel they are currently revolting against Trump. This election for D's in Florida is different this year. I don't think polls are telling the whole story.

They have nothing to offer but tax cuts and lies.
