Rick Scott surges past Nelson with Florida voters
POLITICO ^ | June 11, 2018 | Marc Caputo

Posted on 06/11/2018 9:50:51 AM PDT by Trump20162020

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 Florida’s 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 nation’s largest swing state are almost evenly split when it comes to opinions of President Trump’s job performance, with 48 percent approving and 49 percent disapproving. But Trump’s 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 Scott’s support grows to 44 percent while Nelson’s shrinks to 35 percent with those 50 and older.

Scott might be an improvement over Nelson, but he will be as disappointing as Rubio.

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)?

Until he signed that knee-jerk gun control bill he was looking pretty good.

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 won’t say that.
