FL CNN/SSRS: Gillum +12

Outlier until proven otherwise.

Either CNN/SSRS and Marist will be our new gold standards/Trafalgars who accurately predicted the Democratic tidal wave of historic proportions, or they’ll be discredited once and for all on election day. We’ll see.

Not in Nevada. Clearly Gillum is going to win by double digits at the same time Dean Heller wins re-election.

I honestly don't see how you can be a Gillum/Scott voter.  It defies all logic and reason.

Swing voters certainly aren’t the brightest despite their portrayal as magical RINO Tom-esque unicorns in the media

I mean, Gillum is running as the anti-Scott.  

Gillum: "Scott has screwed up our state for the past 8 years.  Let's not elect another 4 years of him, even if he goes by a different name!"

Florida Voter: "I agree!  Let's bring change to Tallahassee!"

Rick Scott: "I'm running for Senate!"

Florida Voter: "Ooh!  Our economy is nice, and he handled the hurricanes really great!!"

Bill Nelson: "Uh...Red Tide Rick!  I'm an astronaut!"

Florida Voter: "I'm voting for Scott!  Sure, I think he's corrupt from Tallahassee, but I trust him to have federal control of my life, not to mention the lives of 300 million other Americans!"

I mean...do Florida voters REALIZE they have to go through these types of mental gymnastics?!

The problem is you're assuming they're doing any mental gymnastics or justifications. They are not.

Junk poll!

Guys, CNN's final poll for this race was Gillum +1. This is clearly a bad poll, but it's unfair to use it to criticize the pollster.

The race was never Gillum +12 or anywhere close to that.
