McCollum, Meek Back on Top Ahead of Primary
A new Quinnipiac poll shows the “insiders” in Florida have overtaken the “outsiders” in two key primary races next week.
In the Republican primary for governor, Bill McCollum (R) leads Rick Scott (R) among likely voters, 44% to 35%, reversing an eleven point lead he held late last month.
In the Democratic U.S. Senate primary, Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) leads Jeff Greene (D) among likely voters, 35% to 28%, reversing a ten point lead Greene has last month.
Said pollster Peter Brown: “The empire strikes back, actually both empires, that is, the folks who run the Democratic and Republican parties in Florida have waded into the nomination fights and they are making a difference.”
