Poll--FL Senate: Rubio (R) 40% Crist (I) 33% Meek (D) 16% [View All]

Well, another poor third showing by Meek:

Conducted on September 27-30, the poll of 800 likely voters shows:

· GOVERNOR: Rick Scott leading Alex Sink, 46% to 42%

· U.S. SENATE: Marco Rubio leading Charlie Crist and Kendrick Meek, 40% to 33% to 16%

· ATTORNEY GENERAL: Pam Bondi leading Dan Gelber, 38% to 26%

· CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER: Jeff Atwater leading Loranne Ausley 38% to 24%

· AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER: Adam Putnam leading Scott Mattox , 36% to 28% With four weeks remaining before the November 2 General Election, the poll also gauged voters’ interest in the upcoming elections.

· REPUBLICANS: 60 percent of registered Republicans rated their interest a “10” on a “1-10” scale · DEMOCRATS: 49 percent of registered Democrats rated their interest a “10.” “The candidates have four weeks left to ensure voters hear their messages,” Johnson added. “In a campaign, four weeks is a lifetime, and I fully expect we will see candidate leads fluctuate.” The poll, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, has a margin of error of +/- 3.46 percent in 95 out of 100 cases.

***It's hard to believe that the people of Florida want to elect a guy who took the fifth on Medicare fraud over 70 times as Governor of this state!? I had such high hopes for FL governor at one time. It's still close enough that Sink could win, but it's hard to believe that Scott is ahead given his track record.
