The first major public opinion survey taken in Florida following last week\u2019s presidential debate shows that 45% of all Floridians would like to see the Democratic party replace Joe Biden as the party\u2019s presidential nominee, with 40% saying that the party should stay with the incumbent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey <\/a>of 961 registered voters conducted by Mainstreet Research for Florida Atlantic University last weekend says that of those 45% who want another candidate, 14% say that Vice President Kamala Harris should be the nominee, with 31% saying they\u2019d like another candidate to succeed him. Another 16% said they did not know what the party should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the Democratic voters asked who they\u2019d like to succeed Biden as the nominee, 25% chose Vice President Kamala Harris and 21% chose former First Lady Michelle Obama, who has been unequivocal in stating that she has no interest in running for office. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is next with 17%. Michigan Gov, Gretchen Whitmer gets 7%; Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg 6%; and 2% support New York U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixteen percent were undecided and 6% preferred another candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The negative reaction to the performances of both Trump and Biden during the debate is reflected in the poll, with 27% of all voters feeling disgust towards Trump and 24% of voters feeling disgust towards Biden. Another 22% of all voters felt sadness about Biden, while 18% of all voters felt pride about Trump and another 11% anger towards the former president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOverall, there are overlapping emotions that respondents felt in the aftermath of the debate,\u201d said Luzmarina Garcia, assistant professor of political science at FAU and a PolCom Lab-affiliated researcher, in a statement accompanying the findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDisgust was a particularly pronounced emotion toward both candidates, while sadness was a common response toward Joe Biden and pride was a common emotion toward Donald Trump. Interestingly, non-voters in the last general election and Independents mainly expressed disgust following the debate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey shows Donald Trump has just a two-point lead over Joe Biden among likely voters if the two men are on the ballot in Florida, 46%-44%, but it should be noted that there were many more Democrats than Republicans polled (397 Democrats to 284 Republicans and 280 independents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll was conducted both by both IVR (calls are dialed automatically by a computer) and online. Because of that hybrid, the pollsters say that a margin of error can\u2019t be assigned, \u201cbut a poll of this size would have a margin of error of +\/- at the 95% confidence level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
