Poll: Nelson, Mack tied in Florida Senate race
washington times ^

Posted on 10/01/2012 7:03:23 PM PDT by Perdogg

Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson's once smooth ride toward a third term has hit a snag, says a new poll, which shows the Florida lawmaker locked in a dead heat with Republican challenger Rep. Connie Mack.

The results of an independent survey by Gravis Marketing shows each candidate with the support of 43 percent of likely voters, though 14 percent are undecided. The result is contrary to recent surveys, including four separate independent polls taken in September that pegged Mr. Nelson with a 14-point lead.

Polling on this race has been all over the place.

14% undecided seems like a large amount considering the election is only about a month away.

Actually it’s a PAC running those ads. I haven’t seen a single Mack ad running in the south Florida market. He needs to get with it. By now he should be running well ahead of Nelson who’s vulnerable as hell.

Bill Nelson is senile and an idiot but with his down home drawl and mannerisms...he had me fooled for a while I figured he was at least a moderate. But he turns out to be drinking the Obama koolaid. Get rid of him November 6th!

They coordinate their ad campaigns so they do not duplicate the effort.
So what ? it has the same impact

Sometimes the guys on the underscore cards drag the main event over the finish line to a win.

Is it me, or does Nelson look like one of those animatronic puppets when he talks? Seriously, there’s something unnatural about the way the guy makes his facial expressions.

Coordinating between a campaign and a PAC is illegal, I think.

The MSM has done quite a job destroying the truth this year

Mack Ads have been running here in Orlando as well. They have been very good

The Nelson ads are starting to back fire, because it is the same “Mack once worked at Hooters” ads.

It probably is a waste for Mack to run ads in South Florida because most of that area is going to vote Democrat anyway. Outside of a few pockets....South Florida is pretty much Third World liberal

Good to see this race closing
