Check the methodology and bias of your source and you will answer your own question.

Is Crist an unprincipled scumbag or what, to be pursuing his personal ambition...after he said he would NOT run as an Independent if Republicans rejected him.

Independent my butt.

He's Democrat through and through.

No wonder they're supporting him over their own candidate.

PPP has bias but Rubio screwed the pooch on AZ. A lot of people in FL know Rubio tried to block an AZ like law when he was in the FL House.

Crist is pond scum but Rubio is Mel Martinez 2 aka a open-border pro-La Raza POS.

Typical of the RINO GOP in FL to screw up an election with 2 RINOs.

It’s a lame media poll, didn’t you learn anything from Journolist?

Polls are no better than the news journalist ... push polling. I note that the same outfit has dingy Harry leading Angle.

The lame stream has sent in the cavalry to try and save Democrats with lying polls. Is that new?

But where will they hide the debt, the looming bankruptcy and the unemployed. Going to take huge lying sack to put all that in.

This is so depressing. Crist is probably going to win, because he’s getting mostly Dems who don’t want to vote for the idiot Meeks combined with RINOs. What will put him over the top will be the Dems. This is a conservative state and RINOs couldn’t win alone, which is what he knew when he bailed on the GOP.

How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had teardrops in your eyes
Daddy's home your daddy's home to stay

I’m glad the Florida House told Crist where to go on his special session.

Oh my goodness. Here is what Marco said about the AZ law:

“States certainly have the right to enact policies to protect their citizens, but Arizona’s policy shows the difficulty and limitations of states trying to act piecemeal to solve what is a serious federal problem. From what I have read in news reports, I do have concerns about this legislation. While I don’t believe Arizona’s policy was based on anything other than trying to get a handle on our broken borders, I think aspects of the law, especially that dealing with ‘reasonable suspicion,’ are going to put our law enforcement officers in an incredibly difficult position. It could also unreasonably single out people who are here legally, including many American citizens. Throughout American history and throughout this administration we have seen that when government is given an inch it takes a mile.”

As to polling, Nov is miles and miles down the road. Rubio has an advantage that no one is seeing. He is actually a candidate in a primary. His donors can donate the max up until that time and them donate the max again for the general election. He will also get money from the pubbie party. Crist is an indy. He can only collect the max once per donor and is attached to no party.

I am in South FL and have seen no ads from either candidate yet. Please go to marcorubio.com and find out what you can do to help him. There are a lot more twists and turns to come in this campaign. Rubio was speaker of the FL house 2006-2008. There is a good chance that he has dirt on Crist that we have yet to see.

Poll is flawed, but result would be the same with Crist ahead but a smaller amount.

The heavy hitter GOP leaders are behind crist. The GOP leaders HATE the tea party and all it represents.

Crist’s beard of a wife (or is he also her beard) comes from a rich family who bought their little girl a senator to be.

“Particularly troubling for Rubio is that a majority of independents now have an unfavorable opinion of him.”

Yup. Lost my neighbors. They did not totally trust him. Then AZ happens and they will not vote for him.

Go back to my messages before AZ. I said if he fails to shore up the upstate white yellow/blue dog southerner vote that he will be toast.

We got burned by Amnesty Mel Martinez and people do not forget. AZ was a sign that it was deja vu all over again.

I am voting for him but the FL GOP is infested with open-border RINOs who ARE turning FL into California.

Oh and if people think I am anti-Cuban or hispanic then look at Bill McCollum. He had a walk in the park until AZ and he is toast now. It’s over and Rick Scott will probably win.

I bet I faced more discrimination when I was younger than Rubio ever did and it never bothered me.

Crist has become the de facto Democratic nominee and that's where most of his support is coming from. He's currently getting 44% of Democrats in the Meek match up, along with 40% of independents and 23% of Republicans.
Rubio's for illegal immigration and probably amnesty, conservatives don't like that, Demwits won't vote for Hispanics who are not Uncle Taco, and so, Crist will be elected.
