-PPP's newest Florida Senate poll finds Bill Nelson continuing to expand his lead. He's at 46% to 37% for Connie Mack IV. Three weeks ago Nelson led by 7 points and in early July he had been ahead by only 2.
Nelson's still not popular. Only 34% of voters approve of him to 41% who disapprove. But he lucked out with an extremely weak opponent. Only 30% of voters have a favorable opinion of Mack to 44% with a negative one. Mack's numbers are a particularly dreadful 22/53 spread with independents, and he trails Nelson by 22 points with them at 48-26.
The most striking finding in the poll is that Nelson leads Mack 44-41 with white voters. If a Democrat can win white voters in Florida they're headed for a blowout victory overall, and increasingly that appears to be the case in this race
-Mitt Romney didn't get much of a bounce out of the Republican convention in Florida, but Marco Rubio sure has. His approval breakdown this month is 52/32, the best we've found for him since he took office. He's on solid 50/33 ground with independents and has a higher than normal 26% of Democrats who approve of him. Rubio's approval numbers were pretty middling for the last year and a half but he's seen a noticeable improvement since the convention.
-38% of Florida voters approve of Rick Scott this month to 48% who disapprove. His numbers, although still bad, continue to be better than they've been for most of his term. Scott trails a generic Democratic opponent for reelection by a 48/42 margin.
One specific person who seems like he could be the Democratic candidate for Governor in 2014 is Charlie Crist. He leads Scott 48-43 in a hypothetical contest. Crist is not an overwhelmingly popular figure in Florida anymore though. 39% of voters have a favorable opinion of him to 43% with a negative one. His numbers with Democrats (up from 44/33 to 55/22) and Republicans (down from 24/60 to 19/69) have headed in opposite directions in the three weeks since he appeared at the Democratic convention. 48% of voters think he should complete the switch and become a Democrat to 21% who think he should not and that sentiment is held among Democrats (61/11) and Republicans (40/33) alike.
-And finally Democrats lead the generic Congressional ballot in Florida 47-43.
This is Pure Propaganda Polling
I would say PPP is a corrupt Dem group. But all pollsters are corrupt this go around, other than Gallup and Rasmussen.
Either this poll is pure BS or there is too much crack being spread around in Florida. NO WAY are people this dumb to elect a guy who is FOR Obamacare
Doesn’t that only add up to 83 percent?
I’m in Central Florida. I see ads attacking Mack all the time. I see no commercials from Mack. Nelson is the only one that seems visible and he is making Mack look like a punk.

The media’s false narrative of Dem victories is necessary to account for the impending onslaught of voter fraud perpetrated by Democrats.
There are a lot of pro-leftist retirees in Florida.
if Mack does not win he should burn in hell...despite not being able to beat Nelson his entry forced Tea Party favorite Adam Hasner out of contention for the GOP nomination...

Dont those elderly retirees know that once Obamacare is implemented they will be the first ones to be given a pill and sent home to die..geez what dummies. I had read how leftists were going around retirement homes and telling seniors that Romney will take away their medicare, I guess some are actually believing the BS
PPP is a lying democrap group.
They do it every election in Florida. They are called “Condo Commandos” and “Nursing Home Hawks”. They get seniors with dementia and almost bed ridden to fill out absentee ballots and literally help them fill in the blanks with their agenda driven answers.
Connie Mack announced late that he wanted to be Senator like his dad...he basically hijacked the primary...and since then, he has been absent. Very, very few ads.
Really kind of pisses me off, because Nelson is an Obamugabe asskisser, and is getting away with ads that portray him as a man of God and independent....pathetic.
Not surprising, they target the ones who are seriously ill and vote for them. This is why we need Voter ID laws and the reason why Dems are against it is because they need voter fraud to win, they always have
It’s PPP. They work for the DNC.
We do bath salts, not crack, down here.
Where are the GOP condo commandos and nursing home hawks? It’s called the ground game, and if you don’t play you can’t win.
