Republican Congressman Connie Mack draws his highest level of support yet against incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson in Florida’s 2012 U.S. Senate race.
A new Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Mack earning 46% of the vote to Nelson’s 37%. Seven percent (7%) prefer some other candidate, and 10% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The numbers were flipped back in April when Nelson held a 47% to 36% lead over Mack. At that time, Mack still had heavy competition for the GOP nomination and was being heavily criticized for a lackluster campaign. The contest was closer in earlier surveys.
This race is now considered Leans Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Senate Balance of Power. Elections for 33 U.S. Senate seats will be held in November, and Democrats have more than twice as many seats they now hold at stake compared to seats with Republican incumbents.
Mack is expected to easily win the Republican primary on August 14. Nelson was elected to the Senate in 2000 to fill the seat vacated by Mack’s father.

Huzzah!!
Hope it holds. That’d be a great pickup.
And some polls are say the race between the Disaster and Romney is close? Funny stuff, downright hilarious.
WHOA!
That is good news.
I swear, if I never hear Nelson’s moronic drawl again, it’ll be TOO DAMN SOON!
I don’t really like her because of that “Progressive” thing...
Other good news:
Saw a billboard with Karen Harrington on it the other day.
She’s dws’s first ever opponent (2010 40k to 25k votes).
East-bound on 595 from Univ. Dr.
I plan on volunteering for her before the election. My Father-in-law worked in West’s office for 2 weeks before last elec.
I so cannot stand him. I would vote for a rock if it would get him out of there.
Would it have been so inconvenient for you to spell out the name of the state in the title instead of typing “FLO”, which isn’t even a standard abbreviation for Florida. The USPS postal code abbreviation for Florida is FL and the other standard abbreviation for Florida is Fla.
Flo hangs around until ‘last call’ but still leaves alone.
oh excuse me, did not realise the grammar police was in, next time you do the posts.
even better, go get the news yourself, you post something and all you get is grief for this and that, next time i won’t bother, anyone can make a typo you know.
One wonders how many knew they could have spared you all that grief by clicking the Report Abuse link and asking to have the "typo" corrected.
I would have. But, alas, the damage is done.
Ping!!!
I think I’d hit Flo after last call.
Send Nelson back into space! He votes with the far left extremist and he is one. If our candidates will not call them what they are , they / we will lose
I would as well, all night.
Well he was strong enough to win a statewide election in 1994 and again in 1998.
Bill McColluom should have beat him in 2000 but probably ran a lackluster race.
K Harris was a joke so this is first real reelection test.
“Flo is running for Senate?”
Sounds pretty gross though.
Good news!
Nelson is pond scum. He pissed all over our vets when I lived in Florida. That’s a story for later. Got a lightning storm coming gotta get off.
