Poll finds Scott leading US Senate race against Nelson...Oh nooooo!

This would be a real nightmare! Come on, Florida GOTV!

ST. LEO, Fla. - The most recent survey of Florida voters from the Saint Leo University Polling Institute shows voters favor Republican Gov. Rick Scott over the Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson in the upcoming race to represent the Sunshine State in the U.S. Senate.

Nelson is nearing the end of his third term. Scott, ending his second term as governor, formally announced in April that he is challenging Nelson.

The most recent poll of 506 Florida voters, conducted the last week of May, found that if the election were held at that point, 39.5 percent would choose Scott. Nelson was selected by 34.4 percent.

Not everyone has made a decision, though, as 17.8 percent say they did not know who they would vote for, and an additional 8.3 percent say they wanted someone else.

Scott's margin was almost unchanged since St. Leo's polling in February, but Nelson's support has slipped and the percentage of undecided voters has increased.

1. Republican intent to cut social security and Medicare will not go

Unnoticed...and 5 months to go so polls mean little at this moment.

2. Keep the faith

Between Social Security and the Parkland kids, I have hope.

3. Very conservative area.

Not that a lot of Florida isn't, but still. If we don't get the young folks to vote we are screwed. I hope Nelson kicks it into gear when summer is over.

4. absolute shit poll with 18% undecided.

5. He had 2 terms as gov... so, unfortunately the fl voters will probably send him to dc

6. Sorry, I dont see how any poll is reliable at any time

Due to how many were land lines, how many were cell phones, how many were pay as you go cell phones. There is no way to get a correct poll due the technology today. If they used land lines I truly doubt there was an accurate poll.

7. It's all about turnout.

Turnout Dems, especially young Dems.

If you live in florida, do everything you can to get people to vote.

8. He's spent millions already, Nelson just started, Scott should be further ahead!

10. I assume that many of the tens of thousands (more?) of Puerto Ricans who came to FL post hurricane

will be voting for our Democratic candidates. Am I being overly optimistic?

ps

Fuck that bellend Scott!

Uber criminal Scott needs to go far, far away.

I’m optimistically skeptical.
