Although Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has not yet announced whether he will run for re-election to the Senate, a new Quinnipiac poll released on Wednesday found Rubio leading both potential Democratic challengers in the race.

Rubio leads Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) 47-40 and leads Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) 48-40, according to the Quinnipiac poll.

Rubio performs better against Democrats than the other Republican candidates in the Florida Senate primary. Both Murphy and Grayson beat all of the other Republican candidates in individual match-ups, according to the Quinnipiac poll.

Quinnipiac University surveyed 975 Florida voters via phone June 8-19 with a margin of error plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
