We have a polling update for you, John.

The findings: Senator Marco Rubio is just 2% ahead of his Democratic challenger, Congresswoman Val Demings – his lead is so narrow, it's within the margin of error.

This poll comes from St. Pete Polls, with reputable sub-sources from major aggregators, FiveThirtyEight and RealClearPolitics. Long story short: it's serious. The analysis?

• Rubio's level of support for a second-term incumbent sits at 48%, below the 50% threshold.
• Upwards of 79% of Democrats support Val, and she's earned the support of 14% of GOP voters. Let's build that momentum.
• The poll suggests that Rubio's edge comes from a stronghold on his Republican base, hinting that despite Demings having largely cleared hurdles of the Democratic primary – she still needs to accelerate campaign efforts. Rush a donation to Retire Rubio and Val Demings.
