Rasmussen Reports ^ | 9-16-12 | Scott Rasmussen

Florida FReepers, whats the news down there? I though Mack was running slightly ahead. Ras has 0bama up two down there as well.

"For Mack, favorables are 40% and unfavorables 48%"

Why is Mack viewed so unfavorably?

[Qwackertoo]

Me too, last poll I saw had Mack leading.

[ken5050]

Nelson has been running endless ads Macks' lousy attendance record in the House, and also his youthful peccadilios..i.e. bar fights...Mack's campaign has attempted to stay on the issues..including Nelson's record..

It's generally viewed here, by even the libs at the TampaBayTimes, that if Nelson is to win..he will have to run several points AHEAD of Obama...which will eb very hard to do.

[dalebert]

Are the commies going to take FL?

[Theodore R.]

Sounds like the popular “astronaut” will pull Obama to victory in FL, and with that the certain reelection. Republican primary voters will be held ultimately accountable for making such a weak nomination.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Last week, Mack was leading in this race. I guess the commie ‘RATS propaganda is starting to work. That and soaring gas prices, a crummy economy and Americans getting their asses kicked in the Middle East by the Muzzie Bros. The Entitled sure do vote funny.

Nelson was first elected to the Senate in 2006 to fill the seat vacated by Mack’s father.

That was 2000.

1 month and a half to go

Smear campaign. Bar fights, road rage, no shows.. etc...

[tsowellfan]

When does the early voting start? Especially for our troops

[snarkytart]

y’all can bash poll all you want but lets be honest the polls for republicans and Romney look a little bleak at this point.

Seriously, are people effing nuts in this country?!!

[Jacquerie]

In the outraged aftermath of Obamacare, had he been up for reelection in 2010, Nelson would have been booted by a large margin.

It is near a crime against a once free people that elected Senators serve for six years. The smarmy demagogue Nelson is the poster child.

Mack is a rino I will happily vote in November. Here in NW FL, I have not seen or heard a single advert for him. He is invisible.

[Nifster]

yes

[SPOTTEDOWL]

Pretty unintelligent at any rate. Shows what can be accomplished by making so many dependent on government redistribution from the makers to the takers.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

UGH!!!! Horrible news. The ads Nelson is running really make Mack look bad.

[Breto]

To the combative go the spoils. There is no fight in the republicans....

When a republican does show fight like Sarah or Backman their own party devowers them...

Counting on republicans to preserve liberty is a fools errand....

[randita]

A month or so ago, there was a poll that had Mack up by about 7 points, I believe. Many were skeptical and looks like they had good reason to be.

[Steelfish]

If we’re screwed in FL, Obama wins. Once again the MSM and a lackluster Romney campaign appear to give us a repeat of 2008. But ultimately, we now have a tribal electorate who vote their tribe. The Rats have figured out a way to appeal to each tribe.

[goseminoles]

That’s because all the political ads are down here in the I-10 corridor. When I lived in Tallahassee there were no ads. Not here in the Tampa bay area.
