In this enviornment, I don't see how Scott is winning.

✓ Bill Nelson (D, inc.): 52.5%
Rock Scott (R): 47.0%

The whole talk about "having a formidable bench" is overrated. Democrats had some pretty strong candidates in both 2010 and 2014.

All of Nelson's opponent's have been hyped up only to fizzle out (especially Connie Mack). I expect Scott to do the same.

Taking into account the national environment, Scott's botched response to Parkland, Nelson's popularity, and the influx of Puerto Rican refugees, Nelson will probably still win.

Democrats are quaking in their boots over this announcement. Thanks to my leadership and our wobderful president who got a whopping 306 electoral votes, we were able to recruit Scott. Scott easily wins and has never lost an election in his life, the question is whether he wins by 8 or 10.

Scott's been a fine governor, but he won't win the Senate seat this year short of a major Nelson scandal. No one is disputing that.

This!

Scott only won by one point with the big, scary black man in the White House. LMAO at him even coming close with Trump in office and Parkland on the minds of everyone.

Nelson by 5-10 points. I too see similarities between this and VA-GOV.

Right now? Nelson, probably. We'll have to see if Trump's approval goes up.

I expect Nelson to win but I think a lot of people are underestimating Scott. Fortunately I don't think the DSCC is underestimating him. Scott may appear robotic and uncaring but he is very sharp on the campaign trail is very focused on staying on message.

That being said, if Nelson does marginally better than other democratic candidates in the panhandle and rural areas, he will win. And he has a history of doing this.

I think this is going to be one of the more disappointing races for Republicans this year. Reasonably popular incumbents in opposite-party midterms in swing states just don't lose. Additionally, we've seen a lot of highly-touted governors underperform in Senate elections, and Scott has never run in a non-Republican wave year. I still have the race at Likely D.

Scott kissed those landslide margins in the Panhandle goodbye with his gun control virtue-signaling.

Nelson by 3-5

Obama had a 52% disapproval in FL and Scott underperformed that. FL Congressional ballot was 55% he got less than that. For god sakes Rick Scott got a smaller voter percentage than Rubio in a 3 person race.

My best friend guesses Scott wins by 1.5, and another mentor of mine that is in to election watching too is guessing Scott 0.5, but is still unsure.

Florida is easily the most overhyped Senate race of the cycle. Nelson should win comfortably by at least 6 points. Scott isn't even exceedingly popular, he won by the narrowest of narrow margins in Republican wave years after spending buckets of his own money. Trump and maybe Parkland are going to be the only things on voters' minds when they go to the polls in November, and Trump is polarizing and unpopular in Florida.

Still Lean-to-Likely D imo. This race has VA-GOV 2017 written all over it.
