For the first time this year, Donald Trump tops a state poll of GOP presidential candidates in Florida.
A St. Pete Polls survey released on Wednesday shows the New York businessman with 26 percent support, with Jeb Bush in second place with 20 percent.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is in third place with 12 percent, and Marco Rubio is in fourth place with 10 percent. He’s followed by Dr. Ben Carson at 5 percent, Ted Cruz and John Kasich at 4 percent, and Rand Paul at 3 percent. 16 percent are unsure or are supporting another candidate not named in the survey.

Likely true or will be by far in time.
Rush: Trump is making mince meat out of people.
Fairly simple really. Republicans hate their politicians about .0005% less than they hate democrats.
1,902 registered Republicans
You’re damn right this poll is real ... I’m a Tampa, FL resident ... both Marco Rubio and Yeb Bush are DESPISED by the activist Tea Party groups ... and alot of the Karl Rove era “Gov Jeb Bush” republicans have died off ...
I like how Trump sends his lawyer out to handle the media. It’s funny as hell to see a wimpy lib cry on tv because he got slapped down by the big bad bully.
Here’s my hunch which I’ve expressed before. Those of us born from 1940-1945, just older than baby boomers like Trump a lot. We were brought up when the US held great promise. We always expressed ourselves. Most of my peer group prepared for the future, yet we see our savings being decimated by near-zero interest rates and our safety nets unravelling And we vote!
“If the Republican presidential primary election were held today who would you choose?
Ted Cruz: 4.2%
Rand Paul: 3.3%
Marco Rubio: 9.7%
Ben Carson: 4.5%
Jeb Bush: 20.0%
Donald Trump: 26.1%
Scott Walker: 12.2%
John Kasich: 4.1%
Unsure or Someone else: 15.9%”
Hope they keep Rubio in the race! He’s hurting Jeb
Well, then, thank you very much for that input.
Yahoooo.
Did check out the link. Less than 2000 likely Republican voters polled - 95 per cent confidence. Wayyyyyyy tooooooooo early but certainly is interesting.
That’s why Bush has given up on Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and was campaigning in Spanish in Florida this week. If he can’t win Florida, he’s 100% toast.
Exactly, then they start whinning how mean Donald is. LOL “Mommy Donald hurt my feelings” LOL
...and almost every other GOP contender looks like a stiff suit that doesn’t get the mood of the electorate. Somebody had better figure it out, or Trump’s snowball will start rolling downhill, taking out GOP bodies along the way... and I don’t really even like the guy.
Good grief, apparently Trump could poll-crash tomorrow and still whip a strong Republican field. This is getting unreal.
Yep, a large sample size.
“The scientific results shown for the questions below have a sample size of 1,902 and a 2.2% Margin of Error at a 95% confidence level.”
Ping to post #6 above by Patton@Bastogne.
Donald Trump has owned the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach for 30 years so he must have plenty of connections in Florida.
How is Jeb Bush getting 20%?
He should be 0.20%
Who are these people that like this guy?
