Trump closes gap with Biden by just two points in Florida’s ‘must-win’ swing state, new poll
- Florida has been the closest battleground in the presidential election
- The current gap between Trump and Biden is only 2 percentage points
- Democratic nominee in Sunshine State Joe Biden ahead of Trump by 2 points
- Trump won a 100,000-vote victory over Clinton in Florida in 2016
A new poll suggests that the battle between the White House Democratic nominee B Biden and President Donald Trump is approaching the war-torn state of Florida with just a 2-point gap between the two candidates.
Biden has Trump’s edge, 48 percent to 46 percent, according to a new poll by CBS News published on Sunday.
But the Democrat’s lead has narrowed, showing a 6-point lead against him after a similar poll in July.
A recent survey conducted between September 15 and 18 asked 1,200 voters who they would vote for.
Florida has been a battleground near the presidential election, with the current gap between Trump and Biden at only 2 percent.

Trump won just over 100,000 votes in Florida in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, and this time around he will almost certainly be needed.
There is a 7.7 per cent margin of error in voting, while as many as five per cent of voters say they are still ‘not sure’ who they want to vote for.
In terms of demographics, Trump is likely to vote among whites in Florida, with 59 percent saying they would vote for president.

However, Biden is ahead by a similar margin among Hispanic voters, at 56 percent compared to Trump’s 36 percent.
Trump led the state in 2016 with Hillary Clinton’s 47% of the vote with 49% of the vote.
If the Democrats succeed in ousting Trump, the state is likely to be just as decisive this time around.
The economy seems to be one of the most important issues for voters, with many surveyed saying Trump’s policies support recovery.
Potential voters said they think the president’s economic policies will help his family’s economic situation better than Biden’s proposal.
Also, although coronavirus cases are still on the rise, Florida voters seem more positive about efforts to fight the virus than early summer efforts, albeit mostly in the party line.
