A Real Clear Politics average of polls shows Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson in a neck-and-neck race with two-term Florida Gov. Rick Scott. Both are averaging 46.3 percent in the polls.

Trump won Florida in 2016 with a 49 percent plurality over Clinton, who had 47.8 percent of the vote.

Nelson, who has been in office since 2001, is the only Democrat in a statewide elected office in Florida.
