Holding a steady 7-point lead over a controversial and increasingly malodorous incumbent, Republican Daniel Webster is poised to knock out U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, a new Sunshine State News Poll shows.
Webster, a former state senator, leads Grayson, D-Orlando, 48-41. Florida TEA Party candidate Peg Dunmire garnered 4 percent, No Party Affiliation candidate George Metcalfe got 1 percent, and 5 percent of respondents were undecided.
In a previous poll, conducted Sept. 25, Webster led Grayson 43-36, an identical 7-point margin.
"Webster has to be the favorite here. Grayson has failed to turn his negative image around, and is still viewed in a negative light by a 55-38 margin," said Jim Lee, president of Voter Survey Service, which conducted both polls. "This means Grayson has very little if any room to grow."
While Webster's negatives climbed 12 points since the earlier poll, undoubtedly spurred by Grayson's relentlessly negative advertising, the Republican maintains a relatively healthy favorable/unfavorable rating of 47/33.
Lee said nothing has changed the "fundamental equation for Grayson" in Central Florida's 8th Congressional District, where President Barack Obama gets a 52 percent job disapproval score (vs. 51 percent last month).
"Given that this district leans Democratic in raw registration numbers, Grayson's only hope is to turn out his base at a higher rate than the opponent's," Lee said.

No amount of words can express my happiness at this development. If the world ended the day after this maggot’s defeat, I’d still be happy.
Malodorous-finally a word that describes Grayson.The Moet
is on ice for Tuesday!
Then, we need to find out what happen to all the money he took in from sucker lefty donors.
Every time he slandered the GOP, the megabucks started to flow from the simple-minded.
Grayson isn’t the dummy-—the people who support him are!
Is the Tea Party candidate one of those spoilers set up by the Dems?
Grayson is not angry, he’s rabid.
Or perfecting the fraud we expect to see throughout this country on November 2nd. I hope the GOP is armed and ready!
Bet he ends up as an analyst on MSNBC.
It makes me angry that this race is this close. It amazes me that in a “swing” district, that many people are OK with Grayson’s gutter behavior.
So, 41% of the the voters in the district are morons?
I guess I am a glass 1/2 empty guy. I have the exact opposite opinion. While I am glad the evil grayson will be gone...It saddens me tremendously that a district would be supporting such a man to the tune of 41%.
I weep for my country when 41% of ANY part of the country is so far gone as to support this piece of human debris.
“So, 41% of the voters in the district are morons?”
Next question.
Please let it be so.
I’m so sick of in-your-face leftists I’m ready to swing.
If you check the demographics of FL-8, you’ll find that it is now 18% Hispanic. In that part of the state “Hispanic” means Puerto Rican more often than not and they are mostly transplants from either the island or the Northeast who have brought their liberal voting habits with them.
Not unlike the Northeastern “transplants” who have made Broward and Palm Beach Counties solidly “D” for decades.
The Devil and Daniel Webster
He is a Democrat.
The Democrat Propganda Machine,a/k/a main stream media support him. His supporters [people] do not have the intelligence to get in out of the rain. and last but not least, tDemocrat voters would prefer living as slaves on freebies [to them] stolen from the producers by the Government and given to them.
if MSNBC is still around
Looks like my congressman can join Ed Schultz on their new show “Al And Ed Insanity Reigns.” Oh by the way I did not vote for him just moved here.
This has been a refrain of mine since joining FR just a few days ago. The ENTIRE nation is swamped by ignorant, mindless FOOLS. Obama is president, Pelosi is SOH, Reid is SML... What other possible commentary on the American voting public do you need?
