Poll: Scott in dead heat with Sink in Florida (and Rubio up by 14)
St Pete Times ^ | 09/15/10

Posted on 09/15/2010 6:51:33 PM PDT by jerry557

A Sept. 10-12 Ipsos Public Affairs poll for Reuters (MoE =/- 4.6%) found 47 percent of likely voters backing Rick Scott and 45 percent Alex Sink.

In the Senate race, Rubio led the field with 40 percent, compared to 26 percent for Crist, and 21 percent for Meek. Crist was winning 31 percent of Democrats (Meek 47 percent); 22 percent of Republicans, and 52 percent of independents. Interestingly, among registered voters it was Rubio 32, Crist 29, and Meek 22. Asked how they'd vote without Meek in the race, it was Rubio 46, Crist 45.

Looks like Crist is splitting the Democrat vote much more than the GOP vote.

It will take a collapse for Rubio to lose this.

I thought CNN was telling us that Sink was ahead by 8 points and Crist was tied with Rubio...
LOL!

Watching them spin a landslide will be amusing.

Sink’s fatal flaw is the “D” behind her name.

It’s absolute poison this year.

If Crist had been smart he would have bowed out and run against Nelson in 2 years. He might have had a shot at that. Now his political career is probably over.

When Crist receives his much deserved butt kicking by Rubio he'll have to get rid of the "beard".

“Where are all the Scott hatters?”

Right here Sir, and reporting for duty!

I have and still disapprove of Scott's business ethics. That said, It is important that he be elected so as to be able to help blunt any Democrat fraud attempts in the 2012 Presidential elections.

The recent Florida polls have been very inconsistent. For example:

Fox News Poll:
Rubio up 43-27-21
Scott trailing 41-49

Reuters/Ipsos:
Rubio 40-26-21
Scott LEADING 47-45

One poll has Rubio outperforming Scott; one the opposite, with a 9 point spread between the two reads.

The CNN/Time poll also has Scott running ahead of Rubio, but both doing poorly:
Rubio 36-34-24
Scott trailing 42-49

Sunshine State/Susquehanna Polling shows Scott/Rubio even:
Rubio 43-29-23
Scott trailing 42-44

The CNN/Time poll is an obvious outlier for the Senate race, so their Governor results are also well off the mark. Which leaves the Fox News poll as truly mystifying. Fox used Rasmussen's methodology and vendor for the poll, but the result was very strange.

I dont think the pollsters have any idea how to predict the turnout. With the way the tea party has been acting this year, they dont know who’s voting for who anymore. Polls are based on typical election patterns and baselines. This isnt a typical year.

This guy Sink will “sink” the GOP in 2011 redistricting. I know Scott has “baggage” too, but redistricting lasts for ten years.

Alex Sink is a woman. Try to keep up, it makes your perpetual sad sack song and dance more believable.
