Vice President Harris is nipping at former President Trump’s heels in his home state of Florida, a pollster from Suffolk University says after a new Sunshine State survey.

The USA Today/Suffolk University/WSVN-TV poll found Harris just 5 points behind Trump among likely Florida voters, 42 percent to 47 percent, just outside the poll’s margin of error.

Florida has a million more registered Republicans than Democrats, and Trump won the state in both 2016 and 2020.

Given those circumstances, I was surprised that Harris is within striking distance, being only 5 points down,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, told USA Today in a Tuesday report.

    POLLS ARE LIES.

    At best they are the engine of somewhat plausible fictions.

    Corporate news just slathers the word “polls” on any old thing and tosses it into the void where it is (hopefully) instantly seized on by hordes of ravenous clickers.
