Gov. Rick Scott is virtually tied with Sen. Bill Nelson among Florida voters, but the Republican is dominating the Democrat by 9 points among those nearing or at retirement age a group that casts the majority of Floridas votes.
The results, drawn from a forthcoming POLITICO/AARP poll delving into the policy views of Florida voters aged 50 and older, exposes a political divide that bodes relatively well for Republicans when compared to some nationwide polling that shows a more-favorable environment for Democrats.
Overall, voters in the nations largest swing state are almost evenly split when it comes to opinions of President Trumps job performance, with 48 percent approving and 49 percent disapproving. But Trumps job approval rises to 52 percent and his disapproval falls to 44 percent among voters older than 50 a crucial demographic in the retiree-heavy state because they have historically cast about two-thirds of all the ballots in midterm elections.
Similarly, Scott leads Nelson overall by 40 percent to 39 percent, but Scotts support grows to 44 percent while Nelsons shrinks to 35 percent with those 50 and older.

Rick will be our new senator..........................
I hope so. I’m SO sick of Bill Nelson.
Is BillyN the last living political Space Shuttle passenger?
Scott might be an improvement over Nelson, but he will be as disappointing as Rubio.
Trying to determine which is better, poop or crap?
He’s been in the House and Senate since 1972 and has little to show for it......................
But will Politico and AARP reveal their poll of dead voters and those who live out of state but have winter homes in Florida (and vote Dem in both states)?
He’s no Bubble Boy......................
Hooray!
“I hope so. Im SO sick of Bill Nelson.”
I agree. Nelson needs to go.
Still rated race as Toss up.

Until he signed that knee-jerk gun control bill he was looking pretty good.
Trading one gun grabber for another.
People with knowledge and experience.
Nelson is far, far worse. He is on record for supporting an outright ban on all Semi-autos. In truth, he wants a ban on all firearms, but he wont say that.
Trading one gun grabber for another.
Well one’s a democrat.
If you want democrats controlling the Supreme Court, good luck with your guns.
Is BillyN the last living political Space Shuttle passenger?

Blue wave??? The media tried to me it into reality. Fail.
