Floridians move sharply to right, including near Miami

In comparison to 2020, nearly all of Florida has moved right during this presidential election cycle, figures show.

Miami-Dade County saw the greatest increase, with an 18 percentage point move right. It was enough to move the county from the Democrats’ column in 2020 to the Republicans’ this year.

At least some of the shift is attributed by some analysts to older Jewish voters moving toward Trump due to the perception that he is more supportive of Israel than Harris.

But the figures also reflect the former swing state’s shift toward Republicans over the last decade.

Florida voters also reject an abortion rights amendment and keep in place Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 6-week ban, as the initiative fails to reach the required 60% threshold.

The measure faced an uphill battle in the deeply red state where Trump, a Florida resident, said during the campaign that he would vote against it.
