FL Senate Poll: Crist Leads, But Rubio Gains
Real Clear Politics ^ | 06/29/09 | Mike Memoli

Posted on 06/29/2009 5:35:38 PM PDT by AKSurprise

A new Mason-Dixon poll in Florida shows that Gov. Charlie Crist (R) continues to lead former House Speaker Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate race. But Rubio is gaining in the polls as he becomes more familiar to state voters.

Republican Primary Election Matchup

Crist 51 (-2 from May)

Rubio 23 (+5)

Undecided 26 (-3)

In the May survey, 56 percent of Republican voters did not recognize Rubio. That number is down to 48 percent in the past month. Among voters who recognize both candidates, the race is much closer: Crist leads with 33 percent, with Rubio at 31 percent and 36 percent undecided.

Crist would likely support Amnesty, Cap & Trade, and a Second Stimulus package.

RINO Crist will win the primary, with the help of all the RINO “Moderate” fools and lose the election.

Just like all RINOs.

RINOs are really DemonRAT plants put there for the very purpose of losing elections and assuring that conservatives never get into office.

Good news. Rubio has a lot of time to improve his standing but we here need to be committed to funding his campaign if he is going to continue to rise.

The Marco’s online fund raising has topped 125k and seems to be picking up steam. Let’s make something good happen here. Also be sure to write in support of him to FredPac and SarahPac. He needs more high profile support.

I’m tapped out till Friday but tomorrow is the fund raising deadline please give if you can. Money fuels politics.

This is the test case to see if the simple sons of bitches running the RNC finally get the kick in the ass they deserve.

Rubio has endorsements, he just needs money for ads and to go for Governor Weirdos jugular, grab him by the nads, twist and don't let go. Hit Suntan Charlie over the head with everything hes got, no pussy footing around and no taking prisoners.

If Rubio is not ready to fight like a deranged maniac this is not going to work.

Yeah, he’ll probably end up being on the 2012 Dem ticket Obama/Crist...

ROFL, just realized how close that is to the way Obama would like to be addressed...Barack Crist, think about it.

I gave again today. Marco is worth putting my money where my mouth is, and I’ll do what I can to help get the word out on him as well. He is a breath of fresh air and I agree that Crist would have voted wrong on several issues recently that I’m sure Marco would vote properly on.

Rubio is the real deal, a conservative that walks the walk, not a spray tan queen RINO like Crist.

Rubio has picked up the endorsement of Jim DeMint in the Senate, a direct slap at his colleague Suntan Charlie and the other RINOS, and other conservatives are on the way.

Thanks! It is just great to see a candidate that is his own man and believes in the values that built this country.

"Rubio has endorsements, he just needs ... to go for Governor Weirdos jugular, grab him by the nads, twist and don't let go."

The Orange Creep would enjoy that.

Let me make this clear:

Hussein-hugging Crist will never, ever, ever, EVER get my vote again.

We KNOW we can’t trust the little gay boy crist. Rubio is a conservative.

No way do we want to trade one RINO for another going from Martinez to Crist. Rubio is the real deal. Join him on Twitter and let’s go viral in supporting him. Face it - we need every conservative foot soldier we can muster. We’re in a war here.

I would like to see Rubio nominated, but I think he would handily lose. I think Crist would endorse the Democrat if Rubio were nominated.

I think you’ll find that Crist is to the left of Martinez.
