Rubio Holds Big Lead in Florida
A new Quinnipiac poll in Florida shows Marco Rubio (R) with a commanding lead over Gov. Charlie Crist (I) in the U.S. Senate race among likely, 46% to 33%, with Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) trailing at 18%.
Key findings: When respondents were asked to evaluate their feelings toward the federal government, 48% say they are angry, 29% say dissatisfied while just 19% say they’re satisfied.
Said pollster Peter Brown: “It is no coincidence that Rubio is getting 46 percent of the vote and 48 percent of the electorate is angry at Washington.”
Surveys yesterday from Rasmussen and CNN/Time essentially mirror these results.
Castle Will Not Try Write-in Campaign
Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE) “has decided not to run a write-in campaign for the Senate, ending a week’s worth of speculation and effectively capping 40 years in politics,” the Wilmington News Journal reports.
