He isn’t even in the race yet, and Rep. Alan Grayson is already touting an April 6, 2015 Quinnipiac poll that shows him besting Republican Senatorial candidate, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in the 2016 Senate general election race in Florida.
Grayson, who the Democratic Party is trying to keep from running, and avoid a costly and bloody primary race against Rep. Patrick Murphy, polled 6 percentage points higher than DeSantis,
FL Senate Poll: Grayson 38%, DeSantis 32%. We're winning a statewide race that we're not even in . . . yet. http://t.co/F5H9y2aQhm

Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Again, this poll is from two and a half months ago, so if Grayson is actively pushing April poll statistics in late June, this could only mean that the “Congressman with Guts” is ready to jump into what will be one of the most contentious and visible Senate primary races in the 2016 election cycle.
In the same poll, Grayson is down 1 percent to soon-to-be announced Republican senatorial candidate, Florida Lt. Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera, who will be throwing his hat into the GOP senate primary race on July 15, 2015.
A Grayson senate campaign is music to the ears of the entire Florida press corp.
