Bill Nelson, Rick Scott virtually tied in new Florida Senate poll

Florida Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott are virtually tied in a hypothetical 2018 Senate race, according to a new University of North Florida poll.

Recent polls by the Florida Chamber of Commerce and by Florida Atlantic University have also shown a Nelson-Scott race too close to call. Scott, facing term limits as governor next year, hasn’t announced his 2018 plans but is widely expected to enter the Senate race.

Hypothetical polls are always junk. They are never the same as when candidates are announced and running.

Yep.  Sure would be nice to get rid of Bill Nelson though.

Agreed.  Hopefully, Scott will unseat him, but I'm not really familiar with the candidates that have declared that they will run for governor.  DeSantis is a potential and I hope he runs.  DEMS would like nothing more though than to turn FL liberal.

We need Bill Nelson to be gone.  He is the last vestige of what used to be a solid lock of the Democrat South.
