Marco Rubio has overtaken Jeb Bush among Florida Republicans, as he benefits from positive reviews of his performance in the most recent presidential debate.
A Florida Atlantic University poll to be released Wednesday shows Rubio, the state's junior senator, is in second place in the Republican primary field in Florida. His political mentor, former Gov. Jeb Bush, is in third place.
Donald Trump, the real estate investor, former reality TV show host and part-time Palm Beach resident, is in first place among Florida Republicans, as he is nationally.
"Marco Rubio being that far ahead of Jeb Bush is surprising," said Kevin Wagner, an associate professor of political science at FAU and a research fellow at the university's Business and Economics Polling Initiative. "Some of the early Florida polling suggested that Bush was in a stronger position."

Rubio is the neocon/warmonger choice. They are all lined up for him.
If you like McCain, you’ll LOVE Rubio.
Good
“the “most truant” award goes to Rubio if we’re looking at this year only. If we examine career records, Republican rival Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas takes the crown.”
The majority of the votes Rubio’s skipped, came after April 13, when he announced his candidacy .
But beyond the field, neither Cruz or Rubio are the worst ever offenders — in fact, they didn’t even crack the top 100, according to a May 2015 Washington Post analysis.
President Barack Obama missed 24.2 percent of votes in his brief senate career. And that doesn’t even compare to the most truant senator of all time: Maryon Allen, D-Ala., who racked up a 43.5 percent absentee rate during her five-month stint in the Senate in 1978.”
Rubio is a slick talker with eyes on being a career politician. Do we need more of those? I think not.
Hey pretty fem pussy boy get lost,Rino fraud
So what? Who wants either RINO. Only an idiot would care.
The GOPe is set to use every trick they can against Trump, and all at the same time. All Trump has to do is stay on message.
And Trump isn’t being a “slick talker” when he misleads people by saying that Rubio has the worst voting record, without the caveat of saying “since he started running for Pres. 9 months ago”?
The implication that he’s trying to make is that Rubio has always had the worst voting record, and that’s not true.
Bump. Concerning the Gang-of-8 immigration plan, he said one thing in English and another in Spanish. He lied and oops, got caught by fellow Cubans.
Now the E-GOP is looking for "The Acceptable Jepito press 2 for Engish".
It's not going to work, they are in denial, and they are playing musical chairs with the remaining RINO's looking to stave off IMHO what will be and that is Trump / Cruz.
A poster here yesterday from FLA noted Rubio is not liked in FLA and is running for POTUS because he knows he is toast next time he is up.
IMHO something hasn't sat right with this guy with me for over 2 years, he is too slick by 1/2.
He maybe ahead now in FLA, but we have the jockeying for position of Carson and Carlie, as the E-GOP and the enemedia continue to bargain. As far as the rest of the pack, please, go home...
In announcing his run for the presidency:
“Rubio made the announcement in Miami, his hometown, in front of the city’s Freedom Tower—an iconic, Ellis Island-like landmark where the federal government once processed Cuban immigrants fleeing the Castro regime. The downtown site holds great personal importance for Rubio, his family and the city’s influential Cuban-American community.
He continuously exalts his Cuban family heritage above anything typically “American”.
What about the following:
“A collection of immigrants and exiles, of former slaves and refugees, together built the free-est and most prosperous nation ever,” Rubio said.”
The above statement reflects that the man has no heart connection at all to the “glorious heritage” (David Rockefeller quote) of the American people. It is impossible to describe the birth of the greatest nation ever created on earth with that kind of banal tripe.
given the low numbers of both the real story is there is no consensus
that is, there really is no storey
Rubberio conspired with Durbin and Schumer against the citizens with his Gang.
And then lied about what was in the bill.
And lied some more about changing his mind.
RINO sellout amnesty traitor Rubio is next up to bat. The GOPe is so pathetic.
“I like everything about Rubio but I can’t get over the immigration thing.”
Just to add a bit. He (Rubio) was for Open Borders when he was Florida House Speaker. Then he ran for Senate saying “no chance” to Amnesty. One in office he flipped back to Open Borders and very nearly destroyed this country (as we well know). No he’s running for President saying “no chance” to Amnesty. What happens if he wins?
But don’t feel too bad, even Rush has a soft spot for this dckwad, one of the very few areas where Rush is TOTALLY WRONG.
Trump calls Rubio their personal Senator !
This guy is a Traitor and Owned by Billionaire Slave Labor Express !
Yawn! Senior Amnesty doesn’t have a shot for one of the same reasons Yeb never had a shot.
Thanks. That doesn’t make me like Trump anymore though.
