Bill Nelson: 37
Rick Scott:  36
Other: 7
Don't know: 20

Poll taken Oct. 11, through Tuesday, Oct. 17, with 838 completed surveys from Florida registered voters. In February, the same group had Nelson 44/Scott 38.

http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/wjct/files/201710/ScottTrumpSurveyResults.docx_.pdf

Approval ratings:
Trump: 37/59
Rubio: 42/37
Nelson: 35/15
Scott: 59/28 (was 46/40 in February, so clearly a big hurricane bump)

Also polled: confederate statutes, legal immigration support, government influence in healthcare.

Pretty good news for Nelson if The Criminal can't even lead with that giant post Hurricane approval bump. That said, given Florida elected The Criminal twice, I won't put it past them to elect him a third time.

If there's a big D wave like most people predict, I can see this turning out like MO-SEN 2016: A boring, old, supposedly unbeatable Establishment Democrat who is a remnant from the past and the 80s/90s Establishment faces a surprisingly strong challenge but nonetheless wins by 3 or so in the end because of the national environment. If it's a more neutral year and Republicans are beating expectations, I could definitely see Scott winning, though.

Ya, way better poll for Nelson than the top line suggests, as has been stated before. If Scott is down 1 immediately after a hurricane bump then it's hard to imagine him winning in a bad environment.

Back to Lean D from Tilt imo

Scott the Senior Killer continues to be dragged down by Trump.

It is hard to be make a big impression on voters in such a transient state. Since Nelson was last on the ballot, FL has probably gained a million new voters.

I mean, if there's anyone that can take out Nelson, it IS Scott. He seems to have become more popular in his second term.

Amazing poll for Scott. Anyone saying otherwise is kiddjng themselves. This is a man who turned a negative approval rating to a massively positive one and keeps the race close with trump approval in the tank (I doubt it's that low here). Nelson has always won thanks to north Florida; attacking trump will destroy him in NF.

Nelson could've gotten destroyed in North Florida in 2006/2012 and still thrashed Katherine Harris/Cornelius Harvey McGillicuddy IV.

The reason the poll is bad (as in, not able to determine an accurate picture of the race) is that there are 20% undecided.  This is like taking the poll with Cruz and O'Rourke tied at 30% as "serious evidence" that O'Rourke could win.

Wow Trump is super underwater here lol. Down from 41-57 favorable in 2016 to 37-59 approval. Granted, one's favorable and one is approval, but they tend to be pretty closely aligned.
