FL-PPP (2018): Nelson leads Scott by 4

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I can confirm with complete certainty that Scott will not be a candidate for Senate in 2018. He's just a name being strategically floated by the RPOF to keep interest and speculation going about the election. In the end, the runner up in the 2016 primary (Jolly, DeSantis, or CLC) will probably run.

That 42% is probably what Scott would get in an actual election.

I would hate to agree with you, but yes, Nelson would steamroll Scott. Which is why Scott isn't running for Senate and why this thread is nothing but idle speculation.

Sanchez, is there anything to Scott running for President down the road? There was a smattering of speculation earlier this year and Scott always seemed more interested in national issues.

I think he thinks he can be President, but the RPOF itself is not deluded enough to agree with his theory. If Scott runs in 2020, he polls consistently at 2-3% and would be a pre-Iowa dropout. And I say that as a huge fan of his who would proudly support his campaign.
