... Quinnipiac releases a new poll showing Marco Rubio cutting Charlie Crist's lead in half. Pollster Peter Brown says that's not surprising considering Crist was previously up by 30%, but Rubio has reason to celebrate the positive movement and a stellar 44%/3% favorability split.

FL-Gov: Rubio surges
Daily Kos —
Given GOP insurgent Marco Rubio's anemic fundraising out of the gate, I was worried my prediction of a Rubio victory next year against popular Gov. Charlie Crist would be a big bust. But no, I haven't underestimated the angry GOP Right. This cycle, they will win some pretty big primaries against more mainstream moderate establishment-backed Republicans, Florida among them. Quinnipiac. 10/12-18. All voters. MoE 3% (8/19 results) ...

... their own polling on the race, and it completely confirms the movement seen by the Q poll. Rasmussen has Crist leading by fourteen points (49-35). Meanwhile, Quinnipiac also polled the gubernatorial showdown between likely GOP nominee Bill McCollum and Democrat Alex Sink. McCollum, according to the pollster, has a very slight lead (36-32). Looking inside the numbers a bit, this could be the function of name recognition. While neither candidate is well know, nearly 50% of voters have some opinion on McCollum, while just 31% of voters have an opinion of Sink. ...

... The final upgrade is in Florida, where Charlie Crist appears to be increasingly vulnerable to Marco Rubio, and where Rubio's momentum could pick up significantly if Doug Hoffman wins in NY-23 (or comes close enough to trigger a recount, etc.) Now, by no means is Rubio unelectable -- I think, in fact, he'd be a mild favorite against likely Democratic nominee Kendick Meek. But the nomination of Rubio would certainly put Florida back on the map as a potentially competitive race. It also might not be completely out of the question that some Democratic alternatives to ...
