This new CNN/ORC poll wasn’t the news Marco Rubio was hoping for with less than a week to go before Election Day:
Marco Rubio (R): 49
Patrick Murphy (D): 48
While some other recent polls have shown a wider gap, CNN’s trendlines are very positive for Murphy, who trailed by a huge 54-43 margin in CNN’s last poll from mid-September. And this new survey also shows Hillary Clinton taking a 49-47 lead on Donald Trump, who himself was up 47-44 when CNN last checked in on this race.
And with The Donald proving increasingly toxic for Rubio’s re-election chances, is it any wonder the absentee senator was also absent from Trump’s big rally in Florida on Wednesday?
How sad that Trump had to import a congressman from Idaho to warm up the crowd in Rubio’s hometown of Miami! But with his political future hanging in the balance, it only makes sense that Rubio would want to go into hiding from the man he considers a “con artist.” Wouldn’t you do everything you could to avoid Donald Trump, too?
Please give $3 to Patrick Murphy to help him flush Marco Rubio out of the Senate.
