A new poll has found that Miami-Dade, previously a Democratic stronghold county in Florida, could go either way.
Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are tied to win Florida’s biggest county, according to a new poll.
The two presidential candidates both received 47 percent support in Miami-Dade, according to a poll commissioned by the County Commissioner Kevin Cabrera and conducted by the firm Inquire.
It surveyed 500 likely voters in the county and was conducted from August 22 to August 25. It found that 6 percent of respondents remain undecided when it comes to their votes.
Historically, although the state has leaned Republican, the county of Miami-Dade, which encapsulates 34 cities, including Miami, has been a Democratic stronghold. Trump won Florida in both 2016 and 2020, while Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton won Miami-Dade in both elections respectively.
While the county being split between Trump and Harris could be seen as a blow for Democrats, the tie may represent a positive trajectory for the party — before Harris took over the nomination, a November survey by Ulvert indicated that Biden was behind by 11 points in the county.
