Former Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, set to challenge Senator Rick Scott for his seat in the upcoming elections, claimed that new polling numbers showing him with a net unfavorable rating illustrate her clear chances of beating.
She was making reference to a survey by USA Today/Suffolk University/WSVN, which showed that 49% of the 500 respondents (all likely voters) had an unfavorable view of Scott, compared to 35% approved of him. An additional 7% said they were undecided about how they felt.
