CNN poll: Gillum +12, Nelson +5
CNN ^ | 10/21/2018 | CNN

As the final two weeks of campaigning begin, Democrats hold an edge in both the gubernatorial and Senate contests in the key state of Florida, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS. Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum holds a wide 12-point edge over his Republican opponent Rep. Ron DeSantis in the race for governor, while the Senate contest is a closer matchup with incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson at 50% to Republican Gov. Rick Scott's 45%.

Any Florida experts care to chime in here. I can believe Gillum and Nelson are up but double digits seems crazy.

CNN is smoking way too much Reefer. Or, maybe this is just a joke?

Fake poll. Republican early voting figures say the opposite.

Does the poll include the Panhandle? I bet not.

Remember - this is CNN.

Did they even bother to poll anyone in the pan handle? I don’t believe this poll for a second.

No polling outfit has ever gone out of business for being wrong.

Voter suppression. Then again, if CNN says so, it must be true.

I hope this isn’t true. I never believe CNN polls, especially not right before an election this important.

Unfortunately the one thing the Left can always run on is “Free-Government-Sh*t”, and from what I’ve heard of Gillum’s campaign he is milking that for it’s maximum value.

SSRS is a notorious push-poller.

“Any Florida experts care to chime in here”

I don’t trust CNN polls, but DeSantis has run a terrible campaign; so bad that I do believe he is losing...keep in mind that a 4-5 point lead in Florida is considered a blowout, so yes, it’s time to worry!

This in a state where Rs have a voter registration advantage.

It makes about as much sense as a saying a Republican is guaranteed to win in Democrat California.

Throw it in the wastebasket.

Is DeSantis putting out ads explaining how Gillum will turn Florida into California?

No, he's not.

He's sitting on his ass expecting to ride the Trump wave.

You've got to go out and pound the pavement and start telling Floridians that your opponent is a Marxist who'll implement a state income tax.

R early vote turnout has been strong.

Possible enough independents could cross over on Election Day to give Gollum and Nelson the edge.

But to say a Blue Wave is in the offing in FL is a stretch.

Maybe but we’ve lost Florida statewide a number of times

Or barely won it....2000

And I fear this new Puerto Rican wave is not with us

Puerto Ricans vote like blacks historically

I really feel bad for CNN....I do not want to ruin their Sunday afternoon...but....CNN, “READ MY LIPS”.....you ain’t to swift in the reality game....Both Democrats, Andrew Gillum & Bill Nelson are going to get politically slaughtered on election day....Why? Because both of them are “Zeros” from head to toe!!!
