If Florida voters had their say, Marco Rubio would stay in the Senate and ditch whatever plans he may have of running for president.

A new Mason-Dixon poll found that just 15 percent of 625 registered voters in the Sunshine State wanted Rubio to seek the Republican presidential nomination, while a whopping 57 percent said it would be better if he would instead seek re-election in the U.S. Senate.
