A new poll from Public Policy Polling (PPP), a firm with connections to Democrats, released a poll on Wednesday that showed that Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is in solid shape to win a third term in 2012.

The poll found Nelson routing the Republican field. Former congressman turned talk-show host Joe Scarborough did the best against Nelson but still trailed by 13 percent. Nelson led former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux by 15 percent, former House Majority Leader Adam Hasner and Senate President Mike Haridopolos by 16 percent and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales by 19 percent.

The poll of 500 likely voters in Florida was taken between March 24 and March 27, and had a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percent.
