Background: Despite all the right-wing attacks and media hype, Hillary Clinton continues to connect with Democrats, independents and Americans of all backgrounds who are hungry for her experience and vision, according to a new poll released by Gravis Marketing this week in the key swing state of Florida.
Bottom Line:
- In a head-to-head matchup poll of Florida registered voters, asked for whom they would vote if the 2016 presidential election were held today, Hillary Clinton beat out both Florida Senator Marco Rubio and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
- Republicans have spent their summer attacking Hillary Clinton with every dug-up and old attack under the sun. Right-wing extremists have gone as far as to write three anti-Hillary gossip books.
- But, these poll numbers are more evidence that American voters see through the slimy smear campaign Republicans have engaged in. People want real vision on real issues, not the baseless hyperbole of the right-wing attack machine.
- According to the poll, Hillary Clinton beats Senator Marco Rubio 44%-39%, and former Governor Jeb Bush 39%-37%.
- As Sunshine State News reported, Hillary Clinton is “the heavy favorite” in the battleground state of Florida.
