GOP Governor Rick Scott HAD been leading in the polling….
But incumbent Democrat Nelson now has moved up…
The vote is going to be tight…
Democrats need this seat in the US Senate…
Sen. Bill Nelson holds a narrow 44-41 percent lead over Gov. Rick Scott among Latino voters in Florida’s Senate race, according to a new poll that’s raising fresh concerns among Democrats that the incumbent is in a dicey position with a core group of voters he needs to carry by bigger margins.
The poll of 400 Florida Hispanics, commissioned by a coalition of Democratic-leaning Latino outreach groups, showed that Scott topped Nelson among Cuban-American voters, who tend to vote Republican, by 24 percentage points. But Nelson’s advantage over Scott among Puerto Ricans, who tend to vote Democrat, was smaller: 7 points.
For Democrats, those numbers are a problem because a Republican who wins as much of the Hispanic vote as Scott is taking usually wins statewide in Florida. Democrats outnumbered Republicans in the survey by 40-33 percent.
Still, Democrats say, there’s time. But it’s running out.
“Nelson has a lot of work to do,” said Mayra Macias, political director for the group Latino Victory Fund, which helped fund the survey along with Alianza for Progress and Power 4 Puerto Rico. The poll was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel…..
Update
The poll is about Hispanics ONLY….
The original heading was in correct
Note….
The poll above is a very friendly poll to Nelson…
Hey, hey, hey, James, whoa !! Is this just a narrow Nelson lead among Hispanic Floridian voters, or among all Florida voters ?
If it’s just among Floridian Hispanics, while you have nothing to show Nelson ahead with the general electorate, then your headline is misleading to an almost Trumpian degree — i.e. utterly deceptive (although not intentionally) and just plain WRONG.
Manafort Defense rests….
The heading about the poll has been corrected….
Thank You DSD..
Nelso shoukd have a bigger lead in this poll….
Your title is still deceptive, as it suggests that Nelson is gaining votes among Latinos. There is nothing in the article that says that. Sorry you didn’t understand that article.
Correcting James’s posts seems to be tyeprimary purpose of the posters here of late.
Frankly, it’s gotten a little ridiculous.
These are not “opinions” as he often claims ,but simply factual mistakes based on either a lack of reading comprehension or purposeful actions to leave a false impression.
Either way?Crummy stuff.
Thank You Jack for your support!😃
Instead of making snarky remarks you really should look at what you’re doing.
Don’t you find it a little odd that almost everyone here(all six of us) spend so much time correcting your obvious Mistakes?Dont you read what you are posting?Or do you simply not understand?
One would think after so much of this you might want to dedicate yourself to improving your performance.I guess trying to be “cute” is your answer.
Too bad.
Yes – Either James didn’t read the article, he didn’t understand it, or his title is very misleading.
The main point of the article is that Nelson is struggling.
