1. Good, Florida needs some sanity

so does Iowa...Wisconsin....a lot of states, come to think of it.

4. Polls actually showed Gillum gaining ground in a huge way.

To the point the momentum swing was recognizable.

Additionally, this isn't as large of a field. Third, it's easier to poll.

9. That is not how statistics work.

And these two sentences conflict with one and other.

"A pollster should not just tell me that a candidate is gaining ground. A pollster has to give me a good idea of how far ahead or behind a candidate is."

3. This is big. First solid poll I've seen about the race.

Even if off, it's a good starting place.

5. Maybe Gillum will also save Bill Nelson's seat.

Nelson seems to be trying to lose that election. I'm not in Florida but that's the impression I get.

6. Gillum will get a lot of minority voters to the polls

That has to help Nelson

10. It is the correct impression

Gillum does need to give Nelson a boost, in energy and activists.

I'm not sure Nelson adjusted to this type of opponent, one who is so well self-funded, or that Nelson realized the Republican Party has really fortified its Florida operation since the last time he defended his senate seat. Nelson really needs to get going. That PAC is pounding him with the puppet ad on TV.

And the Republican yard signs are now up all over the place for every candidate here in Miami, while I don't see any Democratic signs. I knew that was coming. They have now taken major intersections all over the place and plastered them with GOP signs on each corner. You can't help but sit at the traffic light and see the names. However, I haven't seen the afternoon waves of GOP canvassers yet.

7. Betting markets starting to pay attention

5 cent DeSantis drop on Predictit, and now only a small favorite

I knew this poll would cause a shift, because it can't be dismissed as a partisan poll, unlike that initial one a few days ago.

Very interesting that so few are undecided. You never see both candidates adding up so close to 100%, this far removed from election day. But I guess it makes sense, given the clear cut differences.

11. Great news!

I was a bit concerned he might have issues in Nov but this looks very promising.
