Florida Sen. Bill Nelson (D)

Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine has released new internal polling from PPP of both the Democratic primary and the general election for Florida's open gubernatorial race, as well as some numbers for the Senate matchup between Sen. Bill Nelson and Gov. Rick Scott.

While of course Levine is principally interested in the data for his own race, it’s those Senate results that will be most pleasing to Democrats, since Nelson is up 50-44 on Scott, who just joined the contest earlier this week. Nelson is better-liked than Scott, with a 47-37 favorability rating compared to 47-46 for his opponent. Notably, though, Trump doesn't fare especially poorly here, with a score of 46-48. In a way, that's actually good news for Nelson: If he's up 6 points even if opinions on Trump are just about equally divided, then it means he doesn't have to count on Trump being totally toxic in order to prevail.

Levine has led the pack in fundraising and has also tapped some of his immense personal wealth, allowing him to blitz the airwaves early. It's therefore no surprise to see that he's out in front for the Democratic nomination, taking 29 percent while former Rep. Gwen Graham is in second place with 21. Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, meanwhile, is well behind at 8, and businessman Chris King takes just 4 percent. However, it's a long way until the Aug. 28 primary, and a 36 percent plurality of voters are still undecided.

Levine also pitted himself and Graham against the two main Republican candidates, state Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, who's more of the establishment type, and Rep. Ron DeSantis, a member of the nihilistic Freedom Caucus who has the Club for Growth's backing. The matchups are all pretty tightly clustered, which makes sense, given that all of these candidates remain largely unknown to most voters:

Levine: 42, DeSantis: 37

Levine: 41, Putnam: 37

Graham: 40, DeSantis: 36

Graham: 37, Putnam: 36

Again, though, lots of voters have yet to make up their minds, and there’s a whole lot of campaigning still to come.
