[quote]A recent spate of polls suggests Republican Sen. Marco Rubio might suddenly have a tougher-than-expected reelection fight on his hands. But some skepticism of the new numbers is warranted — even according to Democrats in the state. In the last two weeks, three polls have shown putative Democratic Senate nominee Val Demings either tied or leading Rubio in Florida. The most recent, a survey from the University of North Florida released Tuesday, found Demings receiving 48% support from registered voters, more than the 44% who said they backed the GOP incumbent. Seven percent of respondents said they would vote for someone else. That poll comes days after two surveys released last week found the race tied: One, from a pair of Florida progressive groups, found the two candidates each receiving 45% of the vote. Another poll released last week, this one from the Democratic group EMILY’s List, showed Demings and Rubio each receiving 46% support.

The recent polls do show a much tighter race than surveys taken earlier this year. The University of North Florida survey, for instance, found in February that Rubio was leading Demings by 12 percentage points, 46% to 34%. It’s a sign that Demings, a congresswoman from Orlando, has impressed the public since launching her bid for the Senate, officials with her campaign say. “The more Florida voters know about Chief Demings, the more they like her,” said Christian Slater, a Demings campaign spokesman. “That’s why we are laser-focused on aggressively introducing her to every corner of the state and bringing our message to every community. And our grassroots fundraising makes it possible. While Marco Rubio desperately begs for donations on Fox News, Chief Demings is building a campaign fueled by supporters who are fired up and ready to defeat a career politician who doesn’t show up for work.”
