Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : "He is just doing what he needs to politically."At a Tampa strip mall on a recent Saturday morning, support for Trump is on display at an event where Scott, the Republican senator seeking re-election, is due to speak.
64% : That makes non-partisan experts like Coker doubtful Democrats can pull off an upset.
64% : Trump called the outcome the "biggest win for life in a generation".
54% : Florida is one of nearly a dozen states where voters will be given a direct say on abortion laws through ballot referendums in November, including presidential battlegrounds such as Arizona and Nevada that are likely to determine who wins the White House.
52% : "Political analysts in Florida expect a small but significant share of voters will take a similar approach: backing Trump and supporting more relaxed abortion laws.
51% : But the state, which Trump adopted as his own after making Mar-a-Lago his primary residence in 2019, has become increasingly Republican.
50% : "Voters at the event express a range of views on abortion -- but remain united in their commitment to Trump, Scott and other Republicans.
49% : Both those states are reliably Republican: the Financial Times poll tracker shows Trump on course to win Ohio by more than 8 points and Kansas by 16.
45% : For now, Florida is leaning Republican, the Financial Times poll tracker shows, with Trump holding a 5.9-point lead over Harris.
44% : "Trump has carried Florida twice.
43% : "[Abortion] might move the needle a little in Florida when you start talking about the margins, but I don't think it is going to change the overall outcome," he says.
43% : Others say it is obvious Trump is playing both sides.
41% : At the same time, many high-profile Republicans -- including Trump -- have scrambled to distance themselves from the religious right, to avoid alienating moderate and swing voters whose support will be critical in an election that is on a knife-edge.
40% : Trump won Florida by 3.4 points in 2020 and, in the 2022 midterms, Republican governor Ron DeSantis was re-elected by a nearly 20-point margin.
38% : Power, Florida's Republican chair, says Trump "got to the place where he needed to be".
38% : "Another man tending his garden reveals his wife and daughter have already mailed in their ballots and jokes that they are voting for Trump.
33% : "[Abortion] is not an issue that we're seeing break down across party lines," Cheney added.
29% : Trump then rowed back and said he would be voting "no" on Amendment 4.
25% : As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump said women seeking abortions should be subject to "some sort of punishment", and vowed to nominate Supreme Court justices committed to overturning Roe.
24% : The latest polling suggests while Harris and Trump are in effect tied in the crucial swing states, the former president has a problem with female voters in particular: a recent NBC News survey showed women across the country supporting his rival by a 14-point margin.
15% : At a campaign stop in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Monday, Liz Cheney, the former Republican congresswoman who broke with her party over Trump and is now campaigning for Harris, called on women of all political stripes to "reject cruelty" and "misogyny" at the ballot box.
