Poll: Clinton up 30 in Miami-Dade County
By Mark Hensch
Hillary Clinton is dominating Donald Trump in Florida’s largest county, a new poll shows.
Clinton has 58 percent support in Miami-Dade County to Trump's 28 percent, according to the WLRN/Univision 23 survey released Wednesday.
Clinton's edge outpaces President Obama's performance in the county in 2012. Obama won Miami-Dade by 24 points en route to taking the important swing state by less than 1 percentage point.
“[Clinton’s lead] is the most that any Democrat has ever gotten, dating back to the 2000 election,” said Fernand Amandi, the Democratic pollster whose Bendixen & Amandi International conducted the poll.
The poll found that the county harshly disapproves of Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.
Seventy-one percent view Trump unfavorably, including 64 percent who say “very” unfavorably. Twenty-seven percent view him favorably.
In contrast, 62 percent see Clinton favorably to 38 percent unfavorable.
“We’ve never seen numbers like these before,” Amandi said. "Ever, ever, ever, ever.”
WLRN/Univision 23 conducted its poll of 600 likely voters via interviews in English and Spanish from Oct. 15 to 17. It has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
Clinton leads Trump by about 4 points in Florida, according to a RealClearPolitics average of polls.
