Rasmussen Flo Sen : Mack (R) 46%, Nelson (D) 37%
Rasmussen Reports ^

Posted on 07/11/2012 9:22:26 AM PDT by sunmars

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.

FYI..a few weeks ago the Tampa Trib...ultra liberal rag, had an article about Nelson..the usual puff piece...talking about how he was going to win re-election...The consensus was tghat he woudl have to "run several point AHEAD of Obama" in order to keep his seat.

Good luck with that!!..and it shows that in effect the Dems have already written off FL's electoral votes. I've been saying for months that it is all over here in the Sunshine State...Obama loses 54-46%..it won't be close..

You two would make a sweet couple.

Plus, you could get a discount on insurance policies of all types.

Prototypical “win/win” situation.

#1, I don’t find her attractive, she looks like a clown.
#2, I find her personality to be even more annoying.

Dude, chill. It’s a joke...

I’m sure she looks better when she’s not “Flo-ed” up though.

My brother loathes those commercials and told me he'd hate (bleep) her with a paper bag over her head.

A circa 2007 photo of her out of character.

I have to vote to acquit.

She’s pretty when she’s not “Flo-ed” up.

I’m not surprised that someone like you exists. I am surprised that you are still allowed on this forum that name and signature photo.

Just starting on Free Republic, but eager to take the fight to the Progressives and Dems.

– – The entirety of your about page.

Why don't you take a look at my about page and then consider whether your scant talents would better be directed against Progressives and Dems rather than against a conservative who has been around here rather longer than you have?

this is big...big for several reasons,including taking the Senate *and* measuring the possible sentiment toward Osama Obama.

And this is without Marco Rubio listed as VP. Maybe the GOP can carry FL w/o Rubio on the Ticket.

“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”


If sunmars had written “FL” this post would have missed the dozen jokes about FLO. The humor on FR makes it great.
Thank you sunmars.
