MIAMI: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump embarked Saturday on a campaign blitz in the battleground state of Florida, a must-win if the Republican is to stop her becoming the first woman to win the White House. The same poll average gives her just a 1.2 percent lead over Trump in Florida. The two candidates offer starkly different visions of America – Clinton celebrating hope and Trump bashing a corrupt and venal establishment. Supporters held up “Hispanics for Trump,” “Women for Trump” and “blacks for Trump” at the Tampa rally, but his campaign has struggled to win any meaningful support from minority groups. CNN reported Saturday that early turnout among Latinos in Florida was up 129 percent on 2008, statistics that are thought to favor Clinton.
