Fresh polling of the presidential race shows Kamala Harris competitive with Donald Trump in Florida.
Per a Redfield and Wilton survey conducted between Aug. 25 and Aug. 28, the former President leads the Vice President 48% to 43% in the Sunshine State.
Trump’s five point lead is unchanged from the previous iteration of this poll, which is part of a 10-state survey.
In more good news for Trump, he’s converting more Joe Biden voters from 2020 than Harris is with Trump voters from four years ago. Biden is six points underwater in the state.
Harris, meanwhile, is treading water in terms of favorability, while Trump is +8.
The good feeling extends to his running mate also; JD Vance, a Senator from Ohio, is +3. But that’s worse than Harris’ Veep pick, Tim Walz, who is at +7.
Voters trust Trump more on immigration, crime, defense, and inflation, driving his margin.
This poll is slightly more favorable for Trump than the FiveThirtyEight average, which shows the former President with a 4.2 point lead.
Other polls are closer: the Public Policy Polling survey of the state, conducted Aug. 21-22 for the Clean and Prosperous Energy PAC, shows Trump leading 51% to 47% overall in a two-person race
The latest Florida Chamber of Commerce/Cherry Communications poll released this week shows Trump ahead 52% to 45%, meanwhile.

“Woke” is opposite of classical liberal values

I embrace and cherish every single one of those values as a classical liberal. I do not find that those values listed above coincide with the “woke” movement. Those are classical liberal values. By definition I have been accused of being the dreaded evil conservative by holding onto these values. Have been pushed out of the Democrat party, as they do not believe in allowing others viewpoints or independent thought or allowing room for others unless they are cherry picked by grievance and anointed under the preferred identity politics. Democrats seek to undermine basic democratic institutions and processes and laws and prosecute and punish any dissent. That is why I left the party and am now NPA. I am still a Classical liberal for anyone who wants to look that up. That probably means I’ve been added to an FBI watch list for reading Paine and Locke and Hume and Montaigne and Emerson and Thoreau.
