Gravis Polling: Nelson 44 (D)-Scott 39 (R)

[King Lear]

Nelson will be facing an extremely tough race next year against Rick Scott, at this point I’d give a slight edge to Rick Scott, however that doesn’t mean Nelson can’t squeak it out. To me this race should be a national bellwether for Democrats, if their winning it their probably holding Down republican gains in the senate while if their losing it their probably facing a wipeout.

It's amazing that Florida still has a Democratic Senator, considering the state Leans Republican at the Presidential level (it's voted more Republican then the nation in every election since 1980) and it hasen't elected a Democratic governor since 1994. However, if Bill Nelson loses in November, then Florida will become one of many Southern states where Democrats don't hold any statewide elected offices.
