Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: Xing on November 01, 2018, 09:12:15 AM Yeah, the momentum definitely seems to be with Nelson. Remember when the hurricane was supposed to make Scott surge to a mid-high single digit lead?
Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: IceSpear on November 01, 2018, 11:26:02 AM Either Nelson really is up 2 and everyone has suddenly become experts at polling Florida, or there is some weird herding going on here.

Remember when the hurricane was supposed to make Scott surge to a mid-high single digit lead? Luckily (I mean that in a non-political sense), the hurricane only directly effected a very small % of Florida's population (like close to 3%). I don't think a lot of people took that into account.

Remember when the hurricane was supposed to make Scott surge to a mid-high single digit lead? Don't underestimate Scott. Hillary Clinton too was up by 2 in Florida one week before the 2016 election and was leading in most of the Florida polls in October 2016 only to lose Florida to Donald Trump by 1 percentage point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statewide_opinion_polling_for_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2016#Florida Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: KingSweden on November 01, 2018, 12:40:38 PM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Inject this post in my veins Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: Xing on November 01, 2018, 12:42:35 PM Yeah, the momentum definitely seems to be with Nelson.

Don't be so sure. Trump's job approval rating are getting better and better in Florida and this poll was published before Trump's yesterday rally for Scott in Fort Myers, Florida. Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: Adam Griffin on November 01, 2018, 12:45:30 PM Nelson wins by 4-5. This'll be one race we all look back on and laugh about after the election.

Bill Nelson is not Hillary Clinton, and Rick "Plurality" Scott isn't going to skate by with a win in the 40s this time.

Heh, well, I'm at least aware of the possibility that Tuesday night might not be great for the Democrats, I'd suggest you prepare yourself for the (stronger) possibility of it being bad for Republicans. Not every election is going to go down like 2016. Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: MT Treasurer on November 01, 2018, 01:00:49 PM I mean, Trump only won this state by 1 against a hilariously (no pun intended) weak opponent, so Nelson winning by 2 in a better year for Democrats should come as no real surprise. He doesn’t even need to flip any Trump voters to win.

Man...are you guys ever going to stop talking about Hillary and 2016. Its totally different enviorment, fundamentals, enthusiasm, etc...

Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: Adam Griffin on November 01, 2018, 01:21:54 PM Just so we can put an end to this dumb debate: the polling averages for gubernatorial/presidential elections in FL for the final 2 weeks:
2008 Polling: Obama +2.8 Actual: Obama +2.8 DIFF: 0 2010 Polling: Scott +0.2 Actual: Scott +1.1 DIFF: 0.9 R 2012 Polling: Romney +1.4 Actual: Obama +0.9 DIFF 2.3 D 2014 Polling: Scott +0.4 Actual: Scott +1.1 DIFF 0.7 R 2016 Polling: Trump +0.4 Actual: Trump +1.2 DIFF 0.8 R Aggregate polling in FL has actually been quite accurate historically - and certainly possess no statistically-significant bias against the GOP. Title: Re: FL St Pete's: Nelson +2 Post by: Person Man on November 01, 2018, 01:23:54 PM If they are above 1, they will be fine.

Not every election is going to go down like 2016. Scott might lose but that doesn’t mean at all that the GOP can’t make some gains like in Missouri, Indiana and North Dakota.
