The latest PPP polls in Florida have Democratic Representative Patrick Murphy and Marco Rubio in a dead heat. The opportunity to #RetireRubio is real.
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Patrick Murphy is tied with Republican incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio, 46/46.
Florida is not out of reach. The gap between Representative Murphy and Rubio has consistently been small and now it’s nonexistent. Early voting is going well, and the momentum is on Murphy’s side. But Democrats could really use additional funds to work their ground game and get Murphy’s message in front of voters for a final push.
Timing is critical. So let Chuck Schumer know he needs to open his $20 million war chest.
Help #RetireRubio and support Patrick Murphy so that Floridians can get the change they need. Please give him $3 now.
The two are knotted up in part because the PPP polling also shows that gun safety and background checks are very important to Florida voters. Florida led the nation in mass shootings over the last year, voters there are ready to take action on gun safety and are looking for candidates who feel the same way. But that’s not the position of Marco Rubio, who is deep in the pocket of the NRA.
Greater than nine in ten Florida voters (94%) say that making it harder for criminals to get guns is either a “very important” or “somewhat important” issue for them in the upcoming election.
If Florida voters want gun safety, they need to #RetireRubio. And if Democrats want to see that happen, they need to contact Chuck Schumer right now, today, and tell him to get more funds to Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy.
