Finally some good news for Donald Trump as the latest poll from Bloomberg has him +2 over Hillary in the must-win state of Florida:

And he’s doing well with independents:
Independents may decide Florida race. They narrowly picked Obama over Romney in 2012. Right now, they tilt for Trump, @jaselzer says.

That same polls has Sen. Marco Rubio +10 against Rep. Patrick Murphy and we’re starting to see anger from Florida Dems who don’t think the DSCC has done enough to attack Rubio:

We should note there is some skepticism if Rubio is actually up by such a large margin, which would affect Trump’s numbers, too:
I can buy Bloomberg poll showing Trump up by 1-2 until it shows Rubio up by TEN. Then i wonder about the sample/likely voter screen

Because even Rubio knows he's not up by 10 https://t.co/RJyF8ilngb
