May 22, 2006--Senator Bill Nelson (D) from Florida has hit the 60% level of support in his bid for re-election. The latest Rasmussen Reports election poll shows Nelson leading likely GOP challenger Katherine Harris (R) by twenty-seven percentage points, 60% to 33%.
This Senate seat was once considered a a pick-up opportunity for the GOP. However, as the Harris campaign imploded earlier this year, Florida Republicans were unable to recruit a top-tier candidate to challenge Harris in the primary. As a result, Nelson is now one of the nation's safest incumbents.
Senator Nelson is viewed favorably by 66% of the state's voters and unfavorably by just 23%.
For Harris, the numbers are just 42% favorable and 50% unfavorable. This includes 41% who have a very unfavorable opinion of their former Secretary of State.
Donate to GOPers who can win.
I don't live in Florida so could anyone explain to me what it is that Harris did or did not do that has everyone so against her now? It appeared to me in 2000 everyone loved her.
How about you donate to McGavick in WA or Steele in MD instead?
Giving up ?who you gona vote for.?
I will not argue that point! LOL!
You don't vote here just worry about where your at.
Yep, just like they supported the vile Spector over Toomey.
Nothing like spending money on liberal Republicans only to get screwed by them later on. Chafee voted against all of Bush's tax cuts and the Iraq War. The RNC should just let Schumer co-chair its Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Another arm chair expert with nothing to do.
Please. I might as well just run it through the garbage disposal.
I voted for him and he sucks.
I swear, it seems like some FReepers would be happier having only a "pure" political party with 40 Senate seats and 170 House seats.
That poll is bullshit.
You got that right.
No. He could not even win it. Another GOP self-inflicted wound.
AFAIK offshore drilling has been banned by federal law for decades.
Ditto
Don't you have anything constructive to do?
Nelson sucks he's just a rat liberal.
Now you got it right.
I guess we can count on your support then.
