Democratic candidates hold small early leads in Florida’s 2016 U.S. Senate race, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today.
In possible matchups in the 2016 U.S. Senate race in Florida:
- Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy tops Republican Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera 40 – 28 percent;
- Democratic U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson tops Lopez-Cantera 37 – 31 percent;
- Murphy tops Republican U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis 39 – 31 percent;
- Grayson tops DeSantis 38 – 32 percent;
The possible candidates are largely unknown at this point as the percentage of voters who don’t know enough about each candidate ranges from 62 percent to 81 percent.
“The U.S. Senate candidates in Florida might want to put their pictures on milk cartons to increase their visibility,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll. “U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson is the best-known, but 62 percent of voters don’t know him well-enough to have an opinion about him. The ‘don’t know’ numbers for the others are even worse.”

Patrick Murphy cannot win the democratic primary so why are you comparing him to Honorable CLC?
Milk Carton Candidate Patrick Murphy per the article:“The U.S. Senate candidates in Florida might want to put their pictures on milk cartons to increase their visibility,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll. “U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson is the best-known, but 62 percent of voters don’t know him well-enough to have an opinion about him. The ‘don’t know’ numbers for the others are even worse.”
