Donald Trump is dominating in our exclusive Florida Decides presidential poll released Tuesday, both among his fellow Republican candidates and likely Democratic challengers in a head-to-head general election.

Here are some of the main highlights of the Bay News 9 / News 13 Florida Decides Poll, conducted via telephone from Wednesday, Oct. 28 through Sunday, Nov. 1.

Trump tops Ben Carson and Marco Rubio 2:1 in a GOP primary



Former Gov. Jeb Bush runs 5th among the top 8 GOP candidates

Hillary Clinton dispatches Bernie Sanders 3:1 in a Democratic primary

Florida would go red if Trump or Carson face Clinton in general election

The poll found 37 percent of Floridians likely to vote in the Republican primary on March 15 said they would vote for Trump if the primary were held today (View Results: GOP Primary ▼).

Trump had a large, 20 percent lead over his closest runner-up, Ben Carson, who got 17 percent support from likely Republican voters. Not far behind Carson was Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, with 16 percent.

We asked our Republican political analyst, former U.S. Rep. Lou Frey, what makes Trump a Florida favorite, overpowering both Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush in their home state.

"I don't understand how he's gotten so many votes, actually, in Florida, but I think he's earned them. He's worked hard at it," Frey said.

Our exclusive poll also showed Hillary Clinton with a fierce lead, 66 percent to Bernie Sanders' 24 percent, among likely Democratic voters (View Results: Democratic Primary ▼). Our Democratic political analyst, former state Rep. Dick Batchelor, said we would likely see a similar result on primary day.

"She's very popular in the state; she'll do very well," Batchelor said. "Bernie Sanders might come up by a few points, but he's not going to win the nomination. Hillary Clinton is going to win the nomination in Florida."

But Batchelor doesn't think the success of nontraditional candidates like Trump and Carson will stick a year from now, when the votes really count.

"I don't think people are serious about it," Batchelor said. "The fact is I would welcome it as a Democrat if Ben Carson or Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee. I hope that's the case. Give them to us, because I think Hilary Clinton would beat them both."

The poll, however, tells a different story. Voters surveyed picked both Trump and Carson over Clinton in a head-to-head matchup on Election Day 2016. (View Results: Clinton vs. Trump ▼ | Clinton vs. Carson ▼)

Clinton's chances were better against he lower-polling Bush and Carly Fiorina, but against Rubio, Florida is too close to call. (View Results: Clinton vs. Bush ▼ | Clinton vs. Rubio ▼ | Clinton vs. Fiorina ▼)



In each matchup, however, 9 percent of voters said they were still undecided.

One thing that surprised both analysts was the low number of undecided voters when it came to each party's primary: 6 percent among likely Democratic voters and only 3 percent among Republicans polled.

"They know what they want, and they're probably going to change their mind a whole bunch along the line," Frey said.

About the Poll

The poll was conducted Wednesday, Oct. 28 – Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015 by SurveyUSA for Bay News 9 and News 13.

3,000 state of Florida adults were interviewed. Of the adults, 2,712 were registered to vote in the state of Florida. Of the registered voters, 2,400 were determined to be likely to vote in the Nov. 8, 2016 general election. Of the registered voters, SurveyUSA determined that 922 were likely to vote in the Republican primary, and 826 were likely to vote in the Democratic primary, both on March 15, 2016.

This research was conducted using blended sample, mixed mode: respondents reachable on their home telephone (69% of registered voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone (31% of registered voters) were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone, tablet or other electronic device. Barack Obama carried Florida (the state was "blue") in both 2008 and 2012.

NOTE: Figures may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding.
