President Donald Trump lags behind former Vice President Joe Biden in Florida, according to the latest survey from Quinnipiac University.

Quinnipiac polled over 1,000 Florida voters, and found that most would vote for a candidate other than Trump in a head-to-head matchup:

•    Biden, 50% to Trump, 41%.
•    Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., 48% to 42%.
•    Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., 47% to 43%.
•    Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., 45% to 44%.
•    South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, 44% to 43%.

Most female voters in Florida back Biden when matched up with Trump, while men tend to prefer Trump. Trump also leads with white voters, while Biden has much stronger support among black and Hispanic voters.

The poll also found that most voters in Florida think Congress should not begin impeachment proceedings against Trump, 62% to 32%.

"Florida Republicans have won the last five major statewide elections, all by very close margins, but Sunshine State Democrats see these very early numbers as a sign that their losing streak might be coming to an end," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

"President Donald Trump trails both former Vice President Joseph Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders in general election matchups and basically ties other leading Democratic challengers," he added. "While most Florida voters are feeling better financially, President Trump remains underwater with a 44 percent job approval rating and a 51 percent disapproval rating." 

Quinnipiac polled 1,279 voters in Florida from June 12 to 17, with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
