Crist leads Gov. Scott by 10 points in poll

[William769]

TALLAHASSEE, FL (AP) - -
Former Gov. Charlie Crist is leading Republican Gov. Rick Scott by 10 points in a new poll.

The poll released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday also found that 53 percent do not think Scott deserves a second term as governor and that 42 percent approve of the job he's doing.

Crist is maintaining his lead over Scott even though the incumbent governor's campaign has spent millions on television ads.

The gap between Scott and Crist is slightly wider than it was in a poll taken in January 2014.

3. This is great news........

There are several governor's races this year where Democrats or Independents have the best chances in years.

Florida would be a big win

I live in Georgia and while I doubt Jason Carter will pull this out ahead of Nathan "Let's Make A" Deal, the results are likely to send shudders through the state GOP organization

5. I agree.

Florida here rooting for Georgia.

6. "a big win" Well anything to get Scott out but we're replacing him with a dino.

How many dinos does it take to turn a party red?

11. Thanks for that list!

Good for Crist!

Mass here in support of Crist. Go Florida!

[William769]

12. After six years of Scott, I ready for change!

You'll notice who I responded to did not offer a viable candidate or anything substantial. Makes you wonder about people like that.

P.S. Glad to see you posting this morning.

13. I noticed that yes~

I have to go to work to pick up some papers I will need. Getting ready to make it down a flight of stairs, wish me luck.

8. Crist is less of a dino than many of the FL democrats in leadership.

I will vote for him.

9. Glad to see this

I've seen a few of Snott's commercials and as expected they
are packed with lies, exaggerations and hysteria. This sort of
thing is to be expected from this weasel one term governor and
Medicare/Medicaid plunderer.

[William769]

10. I have to keep a sponge by where I sit.

Every time I see one of his commercials I throw it at the tv. If it were not for the sponge, I would be buying a lot of TV's.

[lpbk2713]

16. Just wait as the campaign progresses.

Snott will be running ads denouncing Crists's "negative and vicious" ads.

It's already scripted. They probably even have a target date.

14. Scott has been spending money on ads hand over fist... ALREADY

[whatthehey]

15. And yet it's frequently said

that given the choice between a Republican and Republican Lite, otherwise known as any centrist Democrat or shock horror a former Rep, they will always choose the real thing.

Apparently not likely in this case.
