Biden did win Pinellas County (by only 1200 votes!) but he did not win this congressional district, which doesn’t include a whole bunch of St. Pete. |

WASHINGTON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Democrat Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 45% to 41% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Thursday that showed the vice president sparking new enthusiasm among voters and shaking up the race ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
The 4 percentage point advantage among registered voters was wider than a 1 point lead Harris held over the former president in a late July Reuters/Ipsos poll. The new poll, which was conducted in the eight days ended Wednesday and had a 2 percentage point margin of error, showed Harris picking up support among women and Hispanics. Harris led Trump by 49% to 36% - or 13 percentage points - among both women voters and Hispanic voters. Across four Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted in July, Harris had a 9 point lead among women and a 6 point lead among Hispanics. Trump led among white voters and men, both by similar margins as in July, though his lead among voters without a college degree narrowed to 7 points in the latest survey, down from 14 points in July. |

There are a couple of other famous bellwethers but I’m blanking on the names. |
Florida should be competitive but the Florida Democrats are bumbling fools who can’t organize their way out of a paper hat (I lived there 2016-2020). Republicans have over 100k more registered voters and have won most state elections. Florida Democratic Party needs a total overhaul. |

Correct. Here is the official Pinellas county link showing the results. https://enr.votepinellas.com/FL/Pinellas/106209/web.264614/#/summary |

You're right - I don't know where the 60% comes from. Will try to find out. https://enr.votepinellas.com/FL/Pinellas/106209/web.264614/#/summary |
You should come back - Florida Dems are a lot better this year than in previous years. Nikki Fried is doing a good job, and we've got some talent in the party now. Could be better, yes, but doing better now than any other time since I moved here in 2015 (to my knowledge). |
The Trump +6.8% 2020 result is for Florida’s 13th congressional district, which has boundaries that are different from the Pinellas County lines. |
Wikipedia says he actually won that district by 4 points. So not much changed from 2020 (if you even believe a congressional district poll). |
