Florida counties to watch for early signs on 2016 Presidential race

Many early votes have been cast this election season, so we will be able to start seeing better indicators on whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will win the 2016 Presidential race by the end of election day.

1. Pinellas County

• Obama won against Romney by 5 points in 2012. If Pinellas closer to tied early on, it would not be reassuring for Clinton and be a hopeful situation for Trump.

2. Pascal County

• Romney won by 6 points in 2012. If Trump does not start with a significant lead, it is good news for Clinton.

3. Hillsborough County

• Obama won by 7 points in 2012. If Trump leads or is even close behind Clinton, it is bad news for Clinton.

4. Miami-Dade

• Obama won by 24 points! If Clinton is not up by at least 20 points, it will be a good night for Trump.

5. Duval County

• Romney won by 4 points in 2012. Duval is considered a key Republican stronghold with a large Democratic-leaning African American population in Jacksonville. If Trump starts out doing better than Romney, it'll be good news for Trump.

6. Volusia Country

• Romney narrowly won in 2012. It will be good news for whoever Volusia start leaning towards.
