A new Mason-Dixon poll in Florida finds Sen. Marco Rubio (R) and Jeb Bush (R) essentially tied for the GOP presidential nomination in their home state. Rubio gets 31%, Bush had 30% and 17% were undecided.
Said pollster Brad Coker: “I think Rubio’s rollout was pretty good and he probably got a bump out of it. A good rollout is like a primary win: you get about three days of good media coverage and a little lift in the polls.”
