In reply to the discussion: Democratic Rep. Val Demings announces challenge to GOP Sen. Marco Rubio [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)28. Rubio's approval ratings are okay but reportedly show he's vulnerable
March 10, 2021
The first major public poll of the 2022 U.S. Senate election in Florida shows two-term Republican Sen. Marco Rubio has more support than opposition among Florida voters, but he does not have the backing of a majority.
The Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy survey released Wednesday shows 47% of Florida voters approve of Rubios job performance and 42% disapprove. The same poll shows 46% of Florida voters think he should be reelected in 2022, while 40% dont.
No major Democrat had emerged to run against him, so the poll could only cite a Democrat as an alternative.

I hope this is making Rubio clutch his water bottle, throat dry and mouth pasty.

If Rubio has campaign advisors, they wouldn't let him debate a parakeet.

She will be great. Take him down Val! He has done nothing for this country.
