CNN/Time Poll: Heated battle for Florida Senate

[RamboLiberal]

A new poll indicates that the three way-battle for Florida's open Senate seat, arguably the most fascinating Senate contest this year, is deadlocked at the top.

And according to a CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation survey of registered voters in Florida, the Democrat holds a seven point advantage in the gubernatorial fight.

In the Senate contest, 36 percent of people questioned say they support Republican nominee and former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio, with 34 percent backing Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, who earlier this year dropped his bid for the GOP Senate nomination and is now running as an independent candidate. Twenty-four percent say if the election were held today, they'd vote for Rep. Kendrick Meek, the Democratic nominee, with three percent saying they vote for none of the candidates and three percent holding no opinion.

"A three-way race is producing a three-way split among Florida voters," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Meek wins majority support among Democrats while Rubio picks up seven in ten Republicans. Among Independents, it's Crist with 45 percent, distantly followed by Rubio with 29 percent and Meek with only 16 percent of Independents."

1. Remember that Meek finished way ahead of what polls predicted in the primary.

If he's within striking distance (25% or more) then I would expect him to win.

2. if we all get out and vote for him and not vote for one of

the republicans, he will. he DID overcome all the naysaying polls and beat greene handily.

imo, voting for crist is NOT an option. if crist was going to caucus with the democrats, he'd have said so by now. think about that. he's playing both sides against the middle. is that who we want to represent us? someone looking out for his own interests first?

i know they are mostly whores but i want SOME honesty in my politicians.
