A second recent but smaller Florida poll, 8/3/15, shows Trump ahead of Bush by one point with likely GOP voters.

The one day telephone survey, Mon., 8/3/15, included 547 likely Florida Republican primary voters and has a 4.1% margin of error. Sponsored by Fla. Times Union and Fox tv stations in Orlando and Tampa. News article contains no link to original poll:

Aug. 5, 2015, "Poll of Florida GOP voters shows Jeb Bush, Donald Trump in close battle for Florida," Florida Times Union (Jacksonville), Tia Mitchell

"A new poll of likely Florida Republican primary voters shows Donald Trump in a virtual dead heat with former Gov. Jeb Bush. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio lagged far behind with single digits.


The poll was conducted on behalf of The Florida Times-Union, and two FOX affiliates — WTVT-TV Channel 13 in Tampa Bay and WOFL-TV Channel 5 in Orlando — by Opinion Savvy along with InsiderAdvantage, a company that is affiliated with Times-Union parent company Morris Communications.

 
The survey of 547 Floridians concluded that 27 percent supported businessman and TV personality Trump and 26 percent backed Bush. That is within a plus-or-minus 4.1 percent margin of error.


Rubio polled at just 7 percent. That puts him in the second tier of candidates that also includes retired Dr. Ben Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Each had support that fell between 6 and 8 percent.... 


The head of the polling company, conservative columnist Matthew Towery, said Bush performed better against Trump in Florida than he did in many other states."...

The survey was conducted using mobile and landline phones Aug. 3."...


The Florida GOP primary is March 15, 2016.
