**BREAKING FLORIDA SENATE A - RATED QUINNIPIAC POLL- Nelson (Democrat) 52% Scott Repugnant (46%)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Every poll tells a story

Despite his exposure in the wake of Hurricane Michael, Florida Gov. Rick Scott, the Republican challenger in the U.S. Senate race, gains virtually no ground on Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, getting 46 percent of likely voters to Sen. Nelson's 52 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today.

This compares to a 53 - 46 percent likely voter lead for Sen. Nelson in a September 25 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll.

Today, women, black, Hispanic and independent voters are the main drivers of Nelson's lead:
Women back the Democrat 59 - 39 percent, as men back Scott 54 - 44 percent;
White voters back Scott 53 - 44 percent. Nelson leads 94 - 3 percent among black voters and 59 - 39 percent among Hispanic voters;
Nelson leads 93 - 6 percent among Democrats and 60 - 38 percent among independent voters. Republicans back Scott 89 - 9 percent.

8. Thank goodness for Gillum

He will lift Nelson to victory. Last two elections Scott won he was behind 1-3 points and mysteriously won. We need a five point margin to defeat red tide Rick.

PS Red tide is now on east coast in Republican areas. True Floridians always put our beautiful state first.

9. The panhandle is the wildcard

It is very red and probably underrepresented in recent polls.

The question becomes, will they still be able to vote? If storm impacts make that a no, then these runaway polls are probably accurate. If they do manage a normal voter turnout, then it will be tighter.

Personally I can't see turnout in the panhandle being remotely normal with the widespread damage. Some places probably won't even have power back, they are essentially rebuilding the grid from scratch

12. Typo....

Rick Scott, the Republican challenger in the U.S. Senate race, gains virtually no ground on Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, getting 46 percent of likely voters to Sen. Nelson's 52 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today.

I assume this means Scott's 46% of likely voters to Nelson's 52%.

13. When I hear Scott talk I wonder if he's all there. He always sounds like he's in a fog.

Let's hope that prevails. I always thought that any republican would have a problem unseating Nelson. He just seems so intelligent, practical, and knowledgeable of the issues.

As addendum to that, did you see Gillum last night on CNN's debate? That was an amazing hour, and I'm glad that all Americans finally got to see him in action for an extended period of time, not just a sound bite here and there.

14. God, I hope on hope that this finishes Scott

I would like to see this vampire-man's political career killed with a stake thru its heart and garlic filling its soul (if there ever was one). Florida made a huge mistake with this skeleton man and needs to redeem itself with destroying him in the voting booth.

15. Florida's big chance...

...to get rid of, once and for all, the latest huckster to come down the interstate.
He won the governor's seat twice, each by razor-thin margins, by selling his snake oil as a jobs creating working guy.
He's a fraud and it's time to send Rick Scott packing.

[question everything]

16. I was wondering how much Michael, which would fall under governor Scott now

would affect his chances for the senate.

17. Here's me not giving two flying fucks

and still voting.
