Florida Shock Poll You won't believe it- Biden 61% Sanders 12% [View all]

Even before Mike Bloomberg dropped out of the race for President, voters in Florida were consolidating behind Joe Biden.

More than 61% of likely Florida voters favor Biden, according to the most recent survey by St. Pete Polls commissioned by Florida Politics (the full PDF of the poll is embedded below). That gives the former Vice President a commanding lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, at 12%, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, with 5%.

Could Biden get all of Florida's 219 delegates?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

It appears that sanders' support of Castro is not being well received in the Sunshine State Gothmog Mar 2020 #8

And 14% for Bloomberg. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #9

Yes, it's safe to basically view Bloomberg delegates as Joe's. nt Mike 03 Mar 2020 #21

Not shocking at all in that state. Affirmation. Todd79 Mar 2020 #10

Is this within the margin of error? awesomerwb1 Mar 2020 #11

Yes, it seems so, which makes it probably worse for Sanders. OnDoutside Mar 2020 #20

Yep, already had a big lead. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #19

I am sure that someone is going to smear Uncle Joe DonaldsRump Mar 2020 #18

People underestimate how bad the Castro gaffe was for Bernie AGeddy Mar 2020 #22

It's not just one gaffe. It's his entire adult life's support for Castro. yardwork Mar 2020 #39

Yeah, I don't think so. RandySF Mar 2020 #26

This makes me smile Gothmog Mar 2020 #27

Double digits, let alone viability, looking questionable at this point! tritsofme Mar 2020 #37

Bernie is NOT EVEN VIABLE!!! He'll get ZERO delegates in Florida. Devastating! NurseJackie Mar 2020 #40

well, he might win some at district level, but he will surely not have many nt Celerity Mar 2020 #49

That's true! It will be an overall net LOSS in delegates. He'll fall further and further behind. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #59

Lol at ketchup Celerity Mar 2020 #66

Holy crap wryter2000 Mar 2020 #41

No shock at all relayerbob Mar 2020 #42

Is it really shocking BGBD Mar 2020 #53

It probably wasn't a good idea for Bernie to say nice things about Castro in Florida. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #54

according to the 538 model Biden will cross 1991 by April 28. drray23 Mar 2020 #55

BS is throwing away any relevance he might ever have had with two hands. Squinch Mar 2020 #56
