Sen. Bill Nelson has widened his lead to 14-percentage points over GOP challenger Rep. Connie Mack in his bid for a third term, a new poll shows.
Mr. Nelson’s 53 percent to 39 percent advantage in a Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll, results of which were released Wednesday, was 5-percentage points better than a similar survey conducted by the pollster last month.
