Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) comes out 10 points ahead of Democratic challenger Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) in a new poll of the U.S. Senate election in Florida from Bloomberg/Selzer & Company.

Rubio leads the poll of likely Florida voters, 51-41.

Though Bloomberg/Selzer shows a distant lead for the incumbent, other polls, such as the recent release from CBS/YouGov, show narrower margins, with Rubio just two points ahead, 44-42, among likely voters in the swing state.

The Bloomberg poll was conducted Oct. 21-24 by Selzer & Co. among 953 likely Florida voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the U.S. Senate race in Florida shows Rubio leading Murphy, 48.8 to 42.3.

  1. Turing test failure and Desi Arnaz replicant appears to have fooled the undiscerning voters of Florida once again.

  2. I think Rubio is going to win, but I don’t think it is going to be by double digits. I think the Bloomberg poll has a problem. it also shows Trump winning Florida. Very few of the other polls support Bloomberg’s findings. .

    Until other polls show a strong Republican swing in Florida, I would consider the Bloomberg poll an outlier.

  3. Florida voters are an embarrassment.

    Florida Man seems to have taken over at least half the state.
