A newly released poll is now showing that Senator Marco Rubio may be in more trouble than many observers believe in his upcoming re-election contest in Florida.
As The Hill reports:
Rep. Val Demings (D) leads Sen. Marco Rubio (R) by 4 percentage points in Florida’s Senate race, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll, released by the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab, shows Demings with the support of 48 percent of surveyed registered voters who said they would vote in the midterms.
Rubio, in comparison, received 44 percent support, while 7 percent said they would choose someone else.
Broken down by party, 89 percent of Republican voters supported Rubio, in addition to 36 percent of voters who either had no party affiliation or whose political affiliation was termed “other.” The poll found that Demings was supported by 94 percent of Democratic voters and 46 percent of voters with no party affiliation.
In spite of the bad news for team Marco, the race for Florida Senate has been so-far been deemed to be ‘lean Republican’ by the Cook political report.
Why would anyone want a demorat in any office just crazy
Rubio just doesn’t get it….he’s letting the party down….
I always felt that he was a bit of a RINO.
Forget about the poles… Senator Marco Rubio will win by a landslide!!
As much as I dislike little Marco, Demmings is a horror show Florida will not tolerate.
Have had to vote for the lesser of two evils many times, looks like another one.
