During any election cycle, there are a lot of headlines that declare a “SHOCK POLL,” but the latest survey on the Florida Senate race has truly earned the title.
Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon (D) wasn’t supposed to win her primary against Alex Vindman, who outspent her by over tenfold and had national name recognition. After Nixon became the Democratic nominee for Florida’s Senate seat, she wasn’t supposed to be competitive with the incumbent Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL).
Nixon’s definitely not supposed to win in November.
That’s the common wisdom, at least. What the proverbial “everybody” says.
Less than a month ago, CNN’s data guru Harry Enten proclaimed that the Moody vs. Nixon Senate race looked like one of the few bright spots for Republicans, predicting that Nixon’s primary win meant that the race “has been taken off the board for the most part for Democrats.”
