FL-Sen, St. Leo University: Scott in the lead

[Person Man]

If Scott wins this race and especially by a lot in the upcoming environment, maybe he will be the next President.

If The Criminal becomes president after Trump, I'm fleeing to Canada. And I'm not even being hyperbolic like everyone else who says that. I will literally become an illegal immigrant there.

It would make sense. He would definitely prove he can BS the median voter no matter what.

[Suburbia]

This election is Lean D/Tossup. Scott could make FL-SEN competitive, but at the end, Nelson will win by 5-10 points.

[King Lear]

There's no way Scott's going to win by 10 however this race is definitely a pure tossup

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The hurricane bump will sustain itself a bit longer. I've heard, at least in the last two weeks, two (and two only) criticize the Governor's handling of the storm. Both of whom cited the "panic" he caused by the storm. I'd argue the Cat 5 did that on it's own however.

Regardless, the bump will not ensure a Scott victory, but it'll keep him in competition long enough to establish himself as a credible challenger.

If Scott runs, this race is a tossup. If he doesn't, it's Lean/Likely Dem.

IMO, it's lean D with Scott too.

Any Bannon reps gonna screw scotts path?

Scott is palatable for Bannon.

Scott is palatable for Bannon.

He was quick to jump on the Trump train. He can be considered AltLight to some.

This, at least anecdotally, is what I am hearing from friends and neigbhors. All have given Scott good marks for leadership.

Like I said, two people - a grand total of two - have spoken critically of his Hurricane Irma handling. I've heard plenty of criticism otherwise in regards to other matters, but not much about the storm in particular. Scott remains fairly polarizing, but he's demonstrated leadership qualities that make him a contender. Scott may be the Ed Gillespie (2014-out of nowhere close but still no cigar) of this cycle at this rate.

[King Lear]

I consider the Florida senate race a tossup, However if you take in consideration a Low-turnout midterm environment, and the fact that Florida is Republican-leaning swing state, combined with Rick Scott's two unexpected gubernatorial victories, my true opinion is that rick Scott will squeak it out by a point.

[mvd10]

Maybe this poll is a birthday present for Scott.

Well if he's retarded enough to think he'll beat a popular Senator in an R+2 swing state in a wave year with the Republican President mired in the low 30's, I say go for it! Waste all your kids' inheritance on nothing! 😊

Commie Democrats will propose to seize the means of production and tax inheritances at 100% (with help of the Obama-Trump WWC), so he might as well spend it now.

Scott's a strong challenger, but ultimately this is a Democratic environment and Nelson is a strong incumbent. It's probably tilt or lean D at this point.

If Scott passes on the race, Nelson gonna win by double digits and Florida GOP gonna get BTFO'd

I'm pretty optimistic on Nelson. I still remember when Cornelius Harvey McGillicuddy IV was supposed to give him a tough race only to get BTFO on election day, lol. And of course his 2006 win was a thing of beauty.

If there is a wave, why is Scott wnot way behind in the polls?

If there is a wave, why is Scott way behind in the polls?

Wow, even more pathetic than I thought. You took a legit talking point and managed to butcher it up. Not only is he a protege of Rapin Roy, but he can't even serve a one sentence talking point handed to him on a golden tray.

[henster]

I just wish Nelson had ran for Governor in 2014 and we’d have Senator Graham and wouldn’t have to worry about all of this.

Remember when Cornelius McGillicuddy was leading the polls in 2012 before Nelson spanked him? I do.

You think he would have won?

Crist only lost by a point, so I don't see why not.

[Xing]

I wouldn't be surprised to see this go down like OH-SEN 2016 (though I highly doubt Nelson will win by double digits). It will look close initially, but Nelson will pull ahead as the election gets closer, and this will start to look like less of an option for Republicans.
