President Trump formally opened his campaign for re-election the other night in Orlando. Every article I saw in the mainstream media mentioned that the President was campaigning in Florida and then mentioned a Quinipiac poll of that state which showed Biden leading Trump 50 to 41. The Q poll was taken of registered voters between June 12 and June 17. Today, a poll was released by St. Petersburg Polls, a Florida organization, that was taken of likely voters between June 15 and June 16. The St. Petersburg Poll showed the race a tie.
These results should not surprise anyone. Every time the Quinipiac organization polls anything having to do with President Trump, he always comes out worse in these Q polls than in comparable surveys. Even so, the idea that the Q poll found Biden 9 points ahead and the other poll found a tie seems to be a rather extreme variance.
My guess is that Q rushed out its poll after doing what it could to make certain that Biden had a big lead. It was just a bit of Fake News designed to try to discourage Trump voters.
