For good reason I usually put polls in another thread -- but this one involves a potential swing state, and a big one. It also addresses environmental issues including global warming.
A poll by PPP commissioned by the League of Conservation Voters on one of the states most vulnerable to climatic disasters. Florida stands to get longer, hotter summers with high humidity (see above). Trump approval is at 45 with disapproval at 50, and people would vote for the Democratic nominee 51-45 over Trump. The President can hardly win without Florida, as every one of his losses and Florida would put the Democrat at 261 electoral votes. The only state other than Florida that he won by 10% or less that he could also get away with losing is Iowa, which has only six electoral votes. All other states that Trump won by less than 10% have anywhere from 10 (Wisconsin) to 20 (Pennsylvania) electoral votes.
President Trump has an execrable record on the environment, to put it mildly. Floridians consider his environmental record appalling (37% approve, 51% disapprove); they recognize global warming as a threat. They want clean and renewable energy and they want to rescind the President's leniency on pollution.
