Pawlenty Makes Trip to Iowa
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) is making his first “multi-stop trip” to Iowa, the Des Moines Register reports.
“The weekend Iowa trip can help Pawlenty cut into the 53% of Iowa Republicans who said in The Des Moines Register‘s Iowa Poll in June that they were too unfamiliar with him to say whether they viewed him favorably. It’s an improvement from November, when 73% said they knew too little about him… Pawlenty’s Iowa swing – his fourth stop in Iowa since the 2008 election – also gives him the chance to begin building relationships with Republican activists closer to the grass roots in Iowa.”
One More Poll Shows Crist Leading in Florida
A new Florida Poll shows confirms other recent surveys and shows Gov. Charlie Crist (I) leading the three-way U.S. Senate race with 41%, followed by Marco Rubio (R) at 30% and Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) at 12%.
If Jeff Greene (D) is the Democratic nominee, Crist gets 37% to Rubio’s 29% and Greene gets 16%.
