Just a couple of observations on this Quinnipiac University poll today. I continue to have real issues with the way that Q does its polling, particularly in Florida. But here’s easier argument why you should take ALL of their numbers in Florida with a grain of salt: they were wildly inaccurate throughout the 2012 cycle, […]

If the latest Quinnipiac poll is to be believed, Donald Trump has jumped in front of Hillary Clinton in Florida. The Q now has Trump ahead 42-39 over Clinton, and that’s just head to head. Throw in Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Jill Stein of the Green Party and the Donald goes up by five […]

Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton 42-39 percent in Florida in a new poll published by Quinnipiac University. That’s a major shift from a similar survey three weeks ago, which had Clinton up by eight percentage points, 47-40 percent. Trump’s lead increases when you add in Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein. Trump leads Clinton 41-36 percent, with […]

Democrat Hillary Clinton opened an 8-point lead over Republican Donald Trump in Florida, the largest of the presidential swing states, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll. Going inside the numbers: Trump’s support among men in Florida drops from 49-36 percent May 10 to 45-41 percent today. Clinton’s lead among women grows from 48-35 percent in May to 52-34 percent today. […]

The numbers in eight polls taken since January 2015 vary widely as to whether people of Florida support the legalization of medical marijuana. But the polls all agree that over 60 percent — the percentage needed to pass Amendment 2 in November’s general election — said they were ready to vote yes on the change […]

Too close to call. With six months until the general election, that’s how a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday described the state of the race in three crucial swing states. In Florida, Hillary Clinton is essentially tied with Donald Trump, with 43 percent of Floridians supporting Clinton to compared to 42 percent backing Trump. Bernie […]

As we noted in both salt shaker tests on the two recent Florida polls (Quinnipiac and AIF polls), the method used by Quinnipiac likely favors an outsider insurgent. Why is that? Quinnipiac asked randomly dialed Floridians to indicate first whether or not they were a registered voter, then which party they belonged to and then […]

Quinnipiac’s latest poll is a good one, but with a slight methodology problem that could favor Donald Trump. What did the poll find? It found Trump nearly lapping what is left of the field and is 16-points ahead of the second closest candidate, Marco Rubio. If accurate (and we know the race will change between […]

Our country has some serious issues to deal with. The next president must finally confront terrorism both overseas and within our borders. The latest tragic example came on Wednesday in San Bernardino, California. We cannot get this choice wrong. For those of us who believe the best candidates are on the Republican side, GOP voters […]
