Rubio Still Leading by Double-Digits
A new Quinnipiac poll in Florida shwos Marco Rubio (R) is running away with the U.S. Senate race and leading Gov. Charlie Crist (I), 44% to 30%, with Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) at 22%.
Said pollster Peter Brown: “As the clock ticks down to Election Day, there is no evidence that Rubio’s lead is narrowing. Anything is possible since there are still three weeks left in the campaign, but it appears Rubio’s opponents will need an earth-shaking development to deny him the U.S. Senate seat. Crist’s best chance for victory all along required that he outpoll Meek among Democrats and get half the independent vote. He is doing neither.”
Similarly, a new Public Policy Polling survey in Florida shows Rubio leading Crist, 44% to 33%, with Meek at just 21%.
Bachmann Raises Record Sum
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has raised about $5.4 million since July, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
“That’s more than any Minnesota congressional candidate has raised in an entire election — Bachmann took in $3.5 million in 2008. The $5 million boost brings Bachmann’s fundraising total this cycle to just about $10 million.”
Bachmann’s campaign still has more than $3.4 million cash on hand.
