President Donald Trump is not having a good day as he heads to Orlando, Florida for a MAGA rally where he is expected to formally announce his 2020 presidential candidacy. First right leaning paper the Orlando Sentinel endorsed "not Donald Trump" for 2020 and now Quinnipiac University's latest poll of Florida voters has Trump losing to all the Democratic front-runners.
The specter of being a one term President is not something Trump is likely to respond favorably to. Especially the news that another poll shows his support in states he won in 2020 continues to erode.
<p>According to Quinnipiac's poll report, for the 2020 presidential race in Florida:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>former Vice President Joseph Biden leads President Donald Trump 50 - 41 percent</li><li>Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders leads President Trump 48 - 42 percent</li><li>Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren leads Trump 47 - 43 percent</li><li>California Senator Kamala Harris leads Trump 45 - 44 percent</li><li>Former Texas U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke leads Trump 45 - 44 percent</li><li>South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg leads Trump 44 - 43 percent</li></ul><p></p><div id="696d6" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="MNRLV81574968101"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1141035707173130242" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">new Quinnipiac Florida poll as President Trump announces his 2020 re-election campaign at Orlando rally:
