1. As a Florida resident, this sounds about right. Thank goodness.

[Grammy23]

2. I'm afraid to do a happy dance.

I will save that for after the election is finished and in the books. But that is good news for our side. 👍🏻

I still have a bottle of sparkly alcoholic beverage from Election Night 2016. I know that eventually I will have a reason to drink it.

5. I want to know how they plan to steal 2018 and what Dems are doing

to stop them.
Those Con meetings with Sheriffs make me nervous.

14. You sound like my husband. LOL

He is convinced we are doomed for this coming election. I am always looking for signs of hope that things are getting better. Sometimes I am depressed when I look back at the elections since 2000. But my natural inclination is to look for the silver lining. When I pass along good information he gives me the side eye. LOL. Since we know we were robbed the last time .....bigly....I keep hoping the powers that be are savvy to their evil tricks and can make our elections honest representations of what the people want. Guess we’ll have to wait until election night to find out.

15. On the other hand, the desperation to appoint Kavanaugh

suggests they expect to lose the elections. They must be afraid of getting caught.
I just want Mr Mueller to indict these criminals.

16. You have my whole hearted support for that!

Indeed, when we see tRump frog marched off to the pokey might be the highlight of my life. Maybe the proof a lot of us need that our democracy has held and worked like we always thought it would. There will definitely be some corks popped if we live to see that day, Malaise!

6. +1

3. Good news!

[FM123]

4. Such great news!

7. The (R)s still have a couple more weeks.

Before they roll out the dirty tricks timed to get the damage done
before the Dems can do much about it. That's their usual MO.

8. Nelson trails Scott, though.

[Honeycombe8]

9. Oh...be still my heart. I'm trying to hold back the happiness in my heart. Can it be true?

I know this doesn't mean he'll win. It's just one poll, and only 6 pts. But still.....this is a good sign.

[YOHABLO]

10. All we can do is hope and vote.

[Uncle Joe]

11. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread malaise.

[Awsi Dooger]

12. Love the 50

50-44 is markedly more meaningful than something like 45-39, although they are typically viewed the same

No reason to be undecided in Florida this year and not many people are

13. I think Gillum will bring out traditional non voters

Who have not voted since 2012 and are not often polled.

I personally know 2 Trump voters who are not voting for the racist. One plans on sitting it out and the other will vote for Gillum mainly because he hates Scott for what he did to the environment.

Quite a few normally conservative fishermen who are pissed off over the degradation of our environment over the last 8 years under Scott. This is Nelson’s road to victory if he takes it. Inshore saltwater fishing is a huge thing in Florida.

17. K&R...

18. Independents are breaking in favor of Gillum by a 2 to 1 ratio.

I'm confounded by the Scott/Nelson numbers. Scott is using ageism and "anti-Washington" rhetoric although it's his party that is currently in charge. He's revamped one of commercials to spell out what's he saying due to his thin lipped, mealy mouthed delivery where it's hard to understand what's he saying.

19. It's important for Nelson to win
