"SNIP............


-Floridians continue to be firmly supportive of Medicaid Expansion- 63% of voters in the state favor it to only 31% who are opposed. Democrats (87/11) are almost universally for it, a majority of independents (52/35) are, and even Republicans (41/52) are relatively split on it. This is just the latest in a long run of our poll findings about how popular it is in the Sunshine State.

-73% of voters in the state support increasing the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour, with only 13% thinking it should be kept where it is and another 13% who think it should be eliminated altogether. 95% of Democrats, 69% of independents, and 52% of Republicans support an increase to a minimum of $10. This is an issue where the Republican base is a lot further along than the Republican Presidential candidates.

-We continue to find that background checks on all gun purchases are universally popular across party lines everywhere we poll. In Florida there's 88% support to only 7% opposition, and backing for them comes from 92% of Democrats, 88% of Republicans, and 82% of independents.

-Marco Rubio may not want to do anything about global warming, but 63% of his constituents support the EPA Clean Power Plan to only 29% who are opposed to it. 84% of Democrats, 63% of independents, and 39% of Republicans express support for it.

1. I have come to the conclusion that only a tiny fraction of the politicians in Florida actually

care anything about the constituents. And I am talking about both parties. In fact, I don't think anyone but Grayson really cares what the people think. The rest of the Dems are DINOs. IMO and all that.

2. In the world of karma

Rubio will still be trying to be a politician when Miami loses it's fresh water to sea water influx. What is that less than 20 years away? and then the ocean will reclaim that city.
I can see denial say in Omaha, but when your base is in Miami? not so much.
