Washington (CNN)Donald Trump’s feud with Jeb Bush just got more interesting as the billionaire businessman is now leading the former governor in his own state of Florida, a general election battleground that carries increasing importance in the GOP primary race, according to a new poll.
Trump is leading the GOP presidential primary race in Florida with 21% of support compared to Bush’s 17%, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio also trails both Trump and Bush, tying retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 11% among registered Republican voters.
The Quinnipiac survey also shows Vice President Joe Biden, who is still mulling a presidential run, is running equal to or better than Hillary Clinton against the top Republican contenders in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, three key general election swing states.
