Florida—Crist-Rubio Race gets Intersting
June 30, 2009
A new Mason-Dixon poll shows some interesting numbers in the GOP primary for US Senate. Governor Charlie Crist leads former House Speaker Marco Rubio by a 51-23 vote among all Republicans, based largely upon his high name ID and Rubio's low name recognition to date. The numbers are significantly different, however, among Republicans who are familiar with both men. Among those "informed" Republicans, Crist leads Rubio by just a 33-31 vote. In related news, the Club for Growth announced Monday it was considering launching a TV advertising blitz in support of Rubio.
