ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Florida is a severely under-polled state compared to the 2020 election and others past, but one recent March poll confirms the state has become increasingly out of reach for President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Republicans swept the state by around 20% in the 2022 midterms. Before then, in 2020, Trump won the prior solid purple state by over 3%, more than his 2016 margin in the state of a little over 1%.
The latest poll from St. Pete Polls, conducted March 11-13 – the first since last year – former President Donald Trump leads Biden by 6%.
For comparison, in 2020, only a few out of dozens of polls had Trump winning narrowly – and of those, all were 3% in favor of Trump or less.
