Poll shows tight GOP gubernatorial race; Sen. Nelson widens lead

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Attorney General Charlie Crist and Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher are statistically even in their bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, while U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson would defeat U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris in 2006 if that election were held today, a new poll shows.

In a survey of 1,187 registered Florida voters taken between Aug. 23-29 by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, 57 percent said they favored Democrat Nelson in the Senate race to 33 percent for Harris, who is the only declared Republican in that race. That sample included a margin of error of plus and/or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Harris, who was Florida's secretary of state during the raucous 2000 presidential recount, was viewed unfavorably by 30 percent compared to 22 percent who saw her in a favorable light. Forty percent saw Harris as too partisan and divisive.

"She has a very negative image and has to work to get herself known as an effective congresswoman," poll spokesman Clay Richards said Wednesday.

Her image will never be anything else.

And be given cleanup duty there for life.

Fucking hag.

It seems to have doubled.

there is no way harris would be elected in a FAIR, FREE statewide race. Maybe in a gerrymandered congressional district, but NEVER statewide.
