Shock poll: Rubio within 10 points of Crist in Florida
Hot Air » Top Picks — Shock poll: Rubio within 10 points of Crist in Florida posted at 5:32 pm on November 19, 2009 by Allahpundit Share on Facebook | printer-friendly Yeah, it’s a dKos poll , but as I’ve told you before, their pollster’s okay. Kos himself thinks Crist is all but finished . For once, I’m inclined to agree with him. These trendlines are bleak for Crist, and there’s little chance of him surviving.

FL-Sen, FL-Gov: Rubio Keeps Getting Closer
Swing State Project — ... their marginalization... but it's that same marginalization (real or not) that fuels the very sense of victimization that's at the root of their anger: "There are a lot of Republicans that don't have the inclination to go to executive committee meetings....There is wide swath of republican voters out there that don't necessarily listen to cable tv all the time." With that in mind, let's take a look at the latest poll of the race (from late last week): Research 2000 for Daily Kos (11/16-18, likely voters, 1/26-28 in parentheses): ...

Swing State Project — ... earlier, but now we have the full memo. The primary numbers can't be seen as terribly surprising at this point, and the "Crist-as-indie" scenario is not too far off R2K's test of this matchup. They had Crist 32, Meek 31, and Rubio 27, while here, Charlie is the man-in-the-middle. One obvious option this pollsters didn't test was Crist running as a Dem. Who knows what axe Fabrizio's mysterious client has to grind, but recall that R2K showed Crist (D) beating Rubio (R) by a healthy 45-34 margin. If you're trying to ease Crist out of the Senate race, those are numbers you probably ...
