Trump bumps favorite sons Bush and Rubio out of the lead in Florida: a fluke?
A new poll shows Donald Trump leading the GOP presidential field in the Sunshine State. It's only the second poll in Florida since Trump entered the race and could be prove to be an outlier. But it fits national trends.

A new poll out of Florida聽appears to show the Trump phenomenon knocking both of the Sunshine State鈥檚 best known Republicans out of the top spot:
This is only the second poll out of Florida since Trump entered the race. The first such poll,聽a Mason Dixon poll released last week, showed Bush in the lead with 28%, followed by Rubio at 16%, Walker at 13%, and Trump in fourth place at 11%. It鈥檚 possible, then, that this new poll is an outlier. At the same time, though, it is consistent with other statewide and national polling that puts Trump at the top of the field, so it shouldn鈥檛 be lightly dismissed.
