POLITICO Pro Florida poll: Rubio should run for reelection, not president

Floridians overwhelmingly think GOP Sen. Marco Rubio should stick with his current job rather than seek the White House in 2016, according to a Mason-Dixon poll released Monday.

Just 15 percent of respondents said Rubio should run for president, while 57 percent said he should seek a second term in the Senate. About a quarter of respondents were unsure.


Republicans are even more adamant that Rubio should stay in the Senate: More than two-thirds, 68 percent, want Rubio to seek reelection. Only 19 percent want him to run for president.

Voters are more on board with former Gov. Jeb Bush running for the White House: 42 percent think he should, while 43 percent think he shouldn’t. Among Republicans, 59 percent think he should run for president, and 31 percent say he should not.

The poll of 625 registered voters, conducted from Jan. 27- 29, has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.
