There’s less than a year until the primaries to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in the U.S. Senate but a new poll shows the candidates are still unknown to Florida voters. 

A new poll shows Gov. Rick Scott is treading water while Florida’s two U.S. senators -- Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Marco Rubio -- are in solid shape. 

Monday was a roller coaster for the market when Wall Street took an early morning dive as China continues to face economic uncertainty. At the start of the day, the Dow Jones dropped more than 1,000 points though it recovered some of that later in the day. 

Democrats have been hitting Republican congressional representatives by trying to connect them to Republican presidential candidates, namely businessman Donald Trump. But, at the end of last week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) tried to tie former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., around the neck of U.S. Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., after that California congressman announced his support. 

The final lines of a North Florida congressional seat remain unsettled but two Republican candidates running for it are reeling in major endorsements. 

A majority of Floridians remain pro-choice on abortion, but a new poll shows the Sunshine State is more divided over Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood has been in the news in recent weeks after a series of secretly recorded videos in which it appears officials from that group are selling fetal tissue. 

President Barack Obama might have carried the Sunshine State twice but a new poll shows Florida voters are ready for his time in the White House to end and that they oppose his policies in the Middle East. 

Florida politics got a whole lot more interesting last week as the Legislature ended a special session without agreeing on new congressional districts. The next few days should offer some clarity on where things go from here. Rick Scott could call a special session and have the Legislature try again. The Florida Supreme Court, which ruled against the old districts and mandated the special session, could wind up creating the new districts. 

A looming vote on a nuclear deal with Iran, one of President Barack Obama's top priorities, has Florida Democrats in a bind.

More than a month after Obama announced the agreement, veteran U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is Florida's sole Washington lawmaker openly backing the plan.

Other Democrats --- including U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who also serves as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee --- are biding their time. Exceptions are U.S. Reps. Ted Deutch and Alcee Hastings, who condemned the accord.
