Florida Presidential Forecast likely gop

Last Updated: Tuesday, November 5 at 12:18 PM EST

Our model currently predicts that Donald Trump has a 83% chance of winning Florida.

No state embodies the term 'Swing State' like Florida, which has been decided by less than 6 percentage points in eight consecutive elections—the longest active streak of its kind. Recently, however, the state has trended toward the political right. Notably, Donald Trump, who changed his residency from New York to Florida in 2019, won Florida by 3.4 percentage points in 2020, an increase from his 1.2% margin in 2016. This shift, largely attributed to increased support from Latino voters—particularly in Miami-Dade County where Biden's margin shrank to just 7.4 points compared to Clinton’s 29.4 points in 2016 and Obama’s 23.7 points in 2012—occurred despite Trump losing reelection nationwide and polls predicting a narrow Democratic victory. More recently, Republicans swept all statewide offices by double-digit margins in the 2022 midterms. Consequently, Florida is widely expected to lean Republican in the 2024 election.
