Incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson and retiring Republican Governor Rick Scott are in a virtual tie in the hotly contested U.S. Senate race in Florida.
The first Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone and online survey of Likely Florida Voters finds Nelson with 45% support to Scott’s 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate and six percent (6%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
I have friends in Florida who are politically active and the most accurate polling done in-state has Scott up over Nelson by 9%.
yeah, that would be a really good reason to surrender the senate and the country to the enemies of all we stand for.
Thanks. Looks good!
“Would Scott vote in favor of our Second Amendment rights?
Did he enact new gun legislation after Parkland?”
Yes but the little that was done was basically written by Andrew Pollack, who is a huge Trump supporter. I would not hold that against anyone given the atmosphere.
He was a very effective Governor who made a misstep on the Puerto Rico situation. A LOT of Puerto Rico is living here right now and they do have voting rights.
If Nelson is at 45% Scott is going to win.
Good point about problems when incumbents aren't at 50% on Labor day. I'm sure Scott realized that the Trump agenda brought in an unprecedented minority vote. This alone should center his campaign.
Repubs over sampled
Republican 35%
Democrat 31%
Other 34%
1000 likely voters: Likely to vote ?
90-10
Men 94-6
Women 86-14
Scratchin my head how Nelson leads this poll.
Pretty surprising. Every previous poll I’d seen showed Scott leading.
Scott seems to deviate from DJT too often although I know he has Trump’s support.
After that, can we mess with Texas?
Only ¡YEB! can defeat Hillary.
Donald Trump will never be the Republican nominee.
If Rick Scott loses after Trump was able to defeat Hillary, then he’s a poor campaigner.
Not good, but keep in Scott is a pusillanimous piece of crap who never shoukd have won the primary. He stabbed gun owners in the back after the Obama induced shooting down there and just recently attacked Trump over the PR response. Like Hugin in New Jersey, this pusillanimous pussy would vote against him in Congress.
His only value is to control Committee seats.
Scott wins 58/42. This is pure bull crap. Don’t listen to this stuff. It is designed to depress the Republican vote and nothing more. Nelson is drawing flies at his “rallies.”
Scott is a popular governor and Nelson is seen as yesterday.
why don’t you let the guy who lives in florida tell you about the situation in florida? you might learn something. you’d have to stop spewing names at him first, though.
Who I’m voting for!!!!! I don’t vote for democrats like some of you. Big deal he raised the age to 21. These kids today are emotionally immature.
Once again, Florida conservatives are between a rock and a hard place. We will not vote for Nelson, ever. Scott is not a favorite but he’s all we’ve got.
