This slice of the article jumped out at me:

“Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson also holds a 4 percentage point lead over Gov. Rick Scott in the race for Nelson’s Senate seat while Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum holds a 4 percentage point lead over Republican Ron DeSantis. The poll’s results are only within Florida’s 27th congressional district, which includes a parts of Miami Beach, Kendall, downtown Miami and Little Havana, a district that is more Democratic-leaning than the state as a whole.”

If the poll’s results are only within the 27th district, then it is saying that Nelson and Gillum are only running 4 points ahead in that district...in a district Hillary carried by 20 and still lost the state.

That is pretty terrible news for them, if true.

It is. The Dems would need margins of, what, 25%, in that district to win statewide ?

As an aside, I’m shocked how old, scary and fugly Shalala looks. Is that the best the Dems can do in that seat ? Why would she want to START a House career at the age of 78 ? If the Dems ran a younger Hispanic candidate, they’d probably be ahead. Not that I’m complaining...
