Rasmussen Poll: Florida Governor's Race a Toss-Up

[Thom Little]

As the Jeb Bush era winds down in Florida, the race to replace him as Governor is a toss-up. Match-ups involving two Republicans and two Democrats contending for the job show that nobody has a clear advantage at the beginning of 2006.

Attorney General Charlie Crist (R) leads Congressman Jim Davis (D) by just a single percentage point, 36% to 35%. Six weeks earlier, Davis had a three-point advantage in this match-up.

Davis is tied at 37% with the other potential GOP candidate, Tom Gallagher.

With Rod Smith as the Democrats' nominee, Crist leads 40% to 35% and Gallagher holds a 36% to 35% advantage.

Related data shows Senator Bill Nelson (D) with a 23-percentage point lead over Congresswoman Katherine Harris in his bid for re-election.

9. I voted for Nader in 2000

It felt pretty good sticking it to the two party system for a little while, but facilitating 8 years of Bush certainly made me change my tune. I once bought into the notion that there was "no difference" between DLC democrats like Gore and republicans like Bush, and I think even Nader probably realizes how inaccurate that has been. You think there is no difference between Smith and Davis, and Gallagher and Crist?

4. Flordia just like the country deserves exactly what they get

after all that is happened it shouldn't even be close

However, I do NOT trust rasmussen polls, even if they are in our favor

5. Oh boy... a r-ASS-mussen poll ....

Sorry.. I realize that even Scott Rasmussen gets a poll correct once in a blue moon..

It's his PERSONAL BACKGROUND that I just can't stand. Anyone who authors "GOP Nation: How the GOP will dominate for the next 100 years".. and who writes for World Net Daily (not to mention his other strictly GOP associations)...

..makes me sick.

Scott Rasmussen ------> SUCKS!

6. Just one Favor?

PLEASE don't try to inflect Jeb Bush on the rest of us. Ok?

7. Zackly ... don't leave him with time on his hands ...

That family's extra-dangerous when it's got time to plot and plan.
