Meek campaign claims dead heat with Greene in Florida

[ccharles000]

Rep. Kendrick Meek's (D-Fla.) Senate campaign is touting a new internal poll it says shows Meek in a dead heat with primary opponent Jeff Greene a little more than two weeks out from the state's Aug. 24 primary.

The poll, conducted for Meek's campaign by the Feldman Group, shows him with 36 percent of the vote to Greene's 35 percent. Former Miami Mayor Maurice Ferre polled at 8 percent, but 20 percent of voters were still undecided.

"Jeff Greene is in trouble, and he knows it," wrote Meek campaign manager Abe Dyk in an e-mail touting the poll's results.

It comes after a Qunnipiac University poll from last week gave the self-funding Greene a 10-point edge over Meek.

1. Shows money can't buy everything.

And it also shows that Kendrick Meek can fight back from behind and while under the gun.

Something those Florida "Dems" who've been allowed to campaign for a Republican-turned-independent here on DU should bear in mind.
