Until recently, Democrats had high hopes that changes in registered voters in the battleground state of Florida would work in their favor for the upcoming midterm elections. The latest and final numbers show the Democrat position has not strengthened and may even have weakened slightly.
There are two high-stakes statewide races. In the first, two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson is running for re-election against two-term Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Recent polls show Scott leading Nelson by three to four points, and the Real Clear Politics average of polls has Scott up by 1.2 points.
