Additionally, this isn't as large of a field. Third, it's easier to poll.

"A pollster should not just tell me that a candidate is gaining ground. A pollster has to give me a good idea of how far ahead or behind a candidate is."

(10,175 posts)Nelson seems to be trying to lose that election. I'm not in Florida but that's the impression I get.

(14,565 posts)Gillum does need to give Nelson a boost, in energy and activists.
I'm not sure Nelson adjusted to this type of opponent, one who is so well self-funded, or that Nelson realized the Republican Party has really fortified its Florida operation since the last time he defended his senate seat. Nelson really needs to get going. That PAC is pounding him with the puppet ad on TV.
And the Republican yard signs are now up all over the place for every candidate here in Miami, while I don't see any Democratic signs. I knew that was coming. They have now taken major intersections all over the place and plastered them with GOP signs on each corner. You can't help but sit at the traffic light and see the names. However, I haven't seen the afternoon waves of GOP canvassers yet.

I knew this poll would cause a shift, because it can't be dismissed as a partisan poll, unlike that initial one a few days ago.
Very interesting that so few are undecided. You never see both candidates adding up so close to 100%, this far removed from election day. But I guess it makes sense, given the clear cut differences.
