With the lull between debates and his upcoming &#8216;Saturday Night Live&#8217; appearance (<span class=\"xn-chron\">November 7<\/span>), the soft-spoken, &#8216;anti-Trump&#8217; candidate <span class=\"xn-person\">Ben Carson<\/span>, has emerged as a viable candidate,&#8221; said Orlando. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Orlando noted, when support for Carson, Trump, and Fiorina are combined, 51 percent of the national likely Republicans voters support non-politicians. Orlando interpreted the collective sentiment as a signal that: &#8220;These voters would rather have people with no specific plans than people who they are afraid would let them down.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><b>Democratic Politics Continue to Favor Clinton<br \/><\/b>Among the likely Democratic voters nationwide, former Secretary of State <span class=\"xn-person\">Hillary Clinton<\/span> drew 54.8 percent of the respondents&#8217; support. Since Vice President <span class=\"xn-person\">Joe Biden<\/span> announced on <span class=\"xn-chron\">October 21<\/span> that he will not run for president, the 15.8 percent of Democratic likely voters who favored him will likely become Clinton supporters, Orlando said. U.S. Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders was selected by 12 percent of the likely Democratic voters. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hillary&#8217;s still the horse in the Democratic race, and I think that [Vice President] Biden&#8217;s support will now gravitate to her,&#8221; stated <span class=\"xn-location\">Saint Leo&#8217;s<\/span> Orlando. &#8220;It (Biden&#8217;s support) won&#8217;t jump to <span class=\"xn-person\">Bernie Sanders<\/span> as he&#8217;s more of an anti-establishment candidate. At the same time, Sanders needs to be more aggressive in his attack on Clinton and increase his rhetoric.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><b>Florida Results Surprising <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Among <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span> likely Republican voters, <span class=\"xn-person\">Donald Trump<\/span> is first (25.8 percent). Trump was followed in <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span> by Senator Rubio (21.5 percent); then former Governor <span class=\"xn-person\">Jeb Bush<\/span> (15.3 percent); and then Carson (14.7 percent). The margin of error was 7 percentage points, based on a sample of 163 respondents.<\/p>\n<p>On the Democratic side, <span class=\"xn-person\">Hillary Clinton<\/span> has a substantial lead (50.9 percent). Senator Sanders pulled 13.3 percent. (Vice President Biden had 15.2 percent.) The margin of error for this question was plus or minus 7 percentage points, based on a sample of 165 likely Democratic voters in the state.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/polls.saintleo.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">polls.saintleo.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">SAINT LEO, Fla.<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">Oct. 28, 2015<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0Retired pediatric neurosurgeon <span class=\"xn-person\">Ben Carson<\/span> has basically tied with billionaire businessman <span class=\"xn-person\">Donald Trump<\/span> as the leading presidential candidate among likely Republican voters surveyed nationally by the <a href=\"http:\/\/polls.saintleo.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Saint Leo University Polling Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on the Democratic side, likely voters nationally&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gobierno-y-politica"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43199\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
