Sorry about the error in the headline! Obviously, Rubio is in the lead!

RUBIO leads, not Crist, in the FL Senate race.

all encouraging, but the headline is wrong. Says Crist is leading...

Why does your title have Crist leading, when the poll shows Rubio way ahead?

Title is misleading. It looks like Rubio is winning.

BTW, what happened in the Florida Gov race? Holding the Gov seat is important for Presidential elections

Tsk, tsk — this is what happens when you change the article title. ;-)

Also, your link only goes to the FoxNews homepage. I think you want to link to this article:

We're taking Ohio back!

Keep working, people. Keep giving. Keep making those calls and pounding the pavement.

I am shocked at how stable these numbers are for the GOP. Toomey has had a lead and sat on it all summer. Very unusual for the Repub in PA. Angle is doing well against an incumbent with boat loads of cash. Ohio seemed lost a few years ago. This is good news.

I am in Nashville...I warned ya’ll about Scott and got the usual warm response from cult of personality types.

And everyone PROMISED Fiorina could beat Boxer which is why Sarah endorsed her over a harder conservative....I sure hope she does in any event...it’s within grasp no doubt and a big generic GOP turnout could make it happen.

Glad to see Rubio smacking that silver turd.

Whitman?...another social lib GOP in Sacramento to shame the rest of us as neandethals...big deal....slightly better than a Dem.

Kasich....I did not even know he was running....never really liked his manner

Angle better get moving...if in this shite ecomony...and 1% is all she can do in a once GOP state till all the Kali and NE folks moved in...is pretty discouraging

Toomey has a nice lead....that is great.

Fiorina was a terrible choice.

The outright hatred for Carly is deep in California's tech community, and will continue to damage what was an emerging GOP "independent small business" image.

The California RINOs (Gerry Parsky, Pete Wilson, et al.) have done it again, re-binding GOP and "big business" in the public mind, despite the fact that the truly gargantuan corporate wealth supports accruing socialism. Buying government influence has always been a lower risk than making real investments (hence K Street). The only antidote is limiting Federal powers to fix the game with regulations.

Even more (possibly) good news:

The "Likely Voter" definition traditionally has concerned itself with past behavior (i.e., "did you vote in 2008?").

IF that is the definition (or a % of the definition) that these polls are using, GOP strength and Democrat weakness is probably being under-reported, because of the huge "enthusiasm gap" between 2008 and 2010.

(OH) John Kasich (R) is ahead of Gov. Ted Strickland (D) in the race for governor, 48% to 43%.

One of the tighter polls - Kasich is up double-digits in most polls I've seen.

If this poll is accurate,Angle is as close to having it in the bag as it gets. Undecideds break for the challenger, especially when the incumbent has been a fixture for this long.

Fiorina listed as a (D)

that’s probably accurate in principle, but technically wrong since she is running as (R)

Despite Fox News’ reputation as being pro-conservative, their polls tend to be pro-Democrat which makes these even more heartening.

What, Texas isn’t considered a “key state,” but Nevada is???

just because the soon-to-be-ex-Senate Majority Leader is from Nevada?
