Sen. Marco Rubio holds just a 2-percentage-point edge over Democratic challenger Val Demings, according to a new survey released Wednesday morning.

The Senate remains the favorite for reelection, leading with 48% to Demings 46%, according to the latest numbers from St. Pete Polls. That leaves his lead within the poll’s 2.2% margin of error, and the two-term incumbent sits below a critical 50% support level.

She could pull this off folks.

1. DeathSentence is reducing Republican voters in Florida

There might be much fewer of them by election time.

2. Help Val Demings send little marco to a time out:

15. Thx for the link..will do!

3. Her road to victory goes through the Hispanic community

Overperform there and the race is hers.

[ColinC]

4. She's gonna need to be breaking the upper 40s or 50s for me to be confident

And we will need a strong grassroots effort comparable or surpassing Georgia. Otherwise it will just be another close loss like usual.

5. And Val has plenty of opportunity to introduce herself to Fla voters

I see this as a positive. Sure, Marco has instant name recognition, but i see that as a NEGATIVE.

6. Covid

She needs to tie him completely to the covid death cult and what's happening right now and what will transpire over the next month.

Also she doesn't have nearly the name recognition. It may come down to the debates if she's this close already. She looks to be running a good campaign. I'm all in for Val, she was my VP choice.

[Mike Nelson]

7. I think...

... she could win on Florida's problems. People will vote out Republican rule. I hate to say it, but she will need to make up more than 2.2. If she has mo, then she could... but with Florida, a Dem has to win more than their margin of cheat.

8. Do not underestimate Val Demmings.

Do so at your own peril.

Little Marco has a dismal record in the Senate. That is a weapon against him as it pertains to COVID, the Economic plight of Floridians, climate change, etc.

9. she's a good candidate

I've been following her. She's been consistently laying the groundwork of a solid campaign, all the while smacking down GQP in the house.

10. 2 percent is a mountain in FL

However, still early in the game.

11. It amazes me that he is even in the running. He's a seat filler and a shitty one at that. nt

[keithsw]

12. Shows how stupid

voters in my state are. How can she even trail? He is one of the worst Senators in History

[Mr.Bill]

13. So factor in the way Florida counts votes

and he'll win by 15 points.

Sorry, just feeling pessimistic today. I hope she clobbers him.

14. 15 months away ?

it ain't over till it's over

[FBaggins]

16. But he's up by 11 in another poll released today

Still a potentially competitive race depending on how the primary goes.

[Escurumbele]

17. It is so amazing that Rubio would still be a choice. He has proven over and over again that

he is not worthy of any political office. Why are people so f*&^*&^ stupid? Why????

[mahina]

18. You mean we. :)

Yes we can!

This is awesome news, thank you!

[Cozmo]

19. Oh please, oh please, oh please

[live love laugh]

20. Gerrymandering is not reflected in those polls. nt
