Yeah there's no doubt that you'll see 20 Trump signs for every Hillary sign around here. Florida's always been a more conservative state who tends to vote in republican governors, mayors, etc. However what makes this place an oddity is the massive amount of minorities we have here who seem to mostly ignore the polls during the midterm elections and then show up en mass for presidential ones. Specifically our Hispanic community who never seem to post signs in their yard, or speak vocally about politics, but have showed up in record numbers to vote early this election. This is the biggest reason we're such a "swing state" on the political level. It really seems to come down to how many minorities show up to the polls that particular year.
We're still showing to be a tighter race than the past two elections when Obama barely won Florida, so it absolutely could swing toward Trump though.
