"SNIP............
-Floridians continue to be firmly supportive of Medicaid Expansion- 63% of voters in the state favor it to only 31% who are opposed. Democrats (87/11) are almost universally for it, a majority of independents (52/35) are, and even Republicans (41/52) are relatively split on it. This is just the latest in a long run of our poll findings about how popular it is in the Sunshine State.
-73% of voters in the state support increasing the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour, with only 13% thinking it should be kept where it is and another 13% who think it should be eliminated altogether. 95% of Democrats, 69% of independents, and 52% of Republicans support an increase to a minimum of $10. This is an issue where the Republican base is a lot further along than the Republican Presidential candidates.
-We continue to find that background checks on all gun purchases are universally popular across party lines everywhere we poll. In Florida there's 88% support to only 7% opposition, and backing for them comes from 92% of Democrats, 88% of Republicans, and 82% of independents.
-Marco Rubio may not want to do anything about global warming, but 63% of his constituents support the EPA Clean Power Plan to only 29% who are opposed to it. 84% of Democrats, 63% of independents, and 39% of Republicans express support for it.

(14,255 posts)1. I have come to the conclusion that only a tiny fraction of the politicians in Florida actually
care anything about the constituents. And I am talking about both parties. In fact, I don't think anyone but Grayson really cares what the people think. The rest of the Dems are DINOs. IMO and all that.

Rubio will still be trying to be a politician when Miami loses it's fresh water to sea water influx. What is that less than 20 years away? and then the ocean will reclaim that city.
I can see denial say in Omaha, but when your base is in Miami? not so much.
