Nelson tops Harris in Senate showdown, poll shows

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida voters have their doubts about U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, but a new poll shows him ahead of any of the present Republican hopefuls - including U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris - in an early look at the senator's 2006 re-election race.

However, Nelson would have a slightly more difficult time against Harris than either state House Speaker Allan Bense or Senate President Tom Lee, who decided last week to opt for a Cabinet post instead.

Quinnipiac University Polling Institute surveyed 1,248 registered voters in Florida from June 22-26. Its survey has a margin of error of plus and/or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Quinnipiac's snapshot of that race some 14 months before the primary showed Nelson favored by 55 percent of those asked to 26 percent for Bense. Lee, who is now out of that contest, actually fared a bit better, trailing Nelson 53-30.

I hope she does run for the Senate, and LOOSE BIG, and lose her seat in the House at the same time! I don't live in Fl. so I can't do much to help but I hope all the Floridians toss her out on her a**!

And Nelson will wipe the floor with Harris....IMO

that have had to endure looking at her and Jethro's smug faces, all these years!!
