1. Not to be a killjoy

But how does Gilliam lead by 6 and Scott by 1 for Senate?

2. Gillum is popular, but Nelson isn't.

Gillum is a fresh face, Nelson isn't. Gillum gets the minority vote out, Nelson doesn't as much.

[RandySF]

4. I don't doubt Gillum is doing well but I think this batch is wonky

Either FL-Gov is closer or Nelson should be doing better. If If Gillum wins, so will Nelson.

7. But if they are all coming out for Gillum

are they leaving senator blank? voting for Scott? Who votes for Gillum AND Scott??

9. I think it is safe to assume that nelson will get around 4-5% less than gillum

So if he trounces desantis by 10 points nelson will win by 3-5. It is safe to say nelsons support in polls will likely increase with gillums especially as they continue to campaign together.

13. but why?

Folks are showing up to vote for Gillum but either leaving senate blank or voting Scott?
Why?

[Tiggeroshii]

14. Gillum is likely to have more crossover appeal than nelson

[qazplm135]

15. Yeah that doesn't make sense to me

If they weren't on the same ballot I get it.

But they are.

And I would think anyone voting for Gillum isn't voting for Scott.

I mean that's why they call it coattails.

[Tiggeroshii]

16. I dont get scotts appeal but he has a right wing populism.

Gillum has a democratic populism/ nationalism thing going for him and thats kinda what gets the crossover. Gillum will have coattails but there will be a lot of republicans who vote for him and scott.

[qazplm135]

6. Same dichotomy as in Texas

Beto is close, but the Rep Gov is leading by a ton.

I can't imagine a single Gilliam voter also voting for Scott.

3. Terrific. I hope that carries over to Nelson

[lagomorph777]

5. That's going to be necessary. Can they do any joint appearances?

Or would Nelson drag down Gillum?

[Tiggeroshii]

10. They have been and continue to do it

[lagomorph777]

11. Oh good. I hope some of Gillum's magic rubs off on Nelson.

I also hope they're having inspiring conversations behind the scenes.

12. I don't know. Florida is so hard to read. He wouldn't hurt it with Democrats or progressives, it's

independents that are the question

8. KnR #5 ... It's good to see Dems ahead.

Scott you suck. I hope you lose Millions of your own money and
go down in an embarrassing defeat. You are a thief and a liar.
