Biden overperforms with seniors but lags with Latinos in the key battleground state according to a new NBC News/Marist poll.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden are deadlocked in the battleground of Florida eight weeks before Election Day, with ballots being mailed to state voters later this month, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll.
Biden’s biggest advantages in the tied Florida race are among Black likely voters , women and independents .Yet in a significant break from four years ago, Trump holds the narrow edge over Biden among likely Latino voters, 50 percent to 46 percent — with Trump leading sizably among Latinos of Cuban descent, and with Biden just slightly ahead among all other Latinos in the state.
And asked about the recent police actions against George Floyd in Minnesota and Jacob Blake in Wisconsin — as well as protests and violence and destruction that followed — 44 percent of likely voters say they are more concerned about the police actions, while 43 percent are more concerned about the protests.
What the poll’s sample looks likeAs Marist works to ensure that harder-to-reach voters are included in its samples, 19 percent of the likely voters surveyed come from the North/Panhandle region of the state; another 19 percent are from Orlando and the central coast; 16 percent are from the Tampa area; 19 percent are from the central part of the state; and 27 percent are from the Miami and Florida Keys areas.
