Rasmussen: Rubio 50%, Crisp 30%

Rasmussen ^

[Chet 99]

Republican Marco Rubio now enjoys a 20-point advantage over Independent candidate Charlie Crist in the U.S. Senate race in Florida, with Democratic Congressman Kendrick Meek still running third.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Sunshine State finds Rubio picking up 50% of the vote, while Crist, Florida's current GOP governor, receives 30% support. Meek picks up 16% support, his worst showing since early July. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and another three percent (3%) are still undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This race remains Solid Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings. Earlier last week, Rubio held a 43% to 32% lead over Crist, with Meek earning 20% support.

On the upside, at least Crist will have more time to spend in tanning booths.

Other than bagging Boxer, this would be the sweetest win in the Senate.

Boxer? You mean Code Pink's favorite Senator?

[OldPossum]

Cute! You, too, remember the tuna commercials.

I’d like Rubio to give the GOP response to Obama’s next State of the Union.

[DoughtyOne]

Well good luck to you. I hope you can defeat Obama’s interests down there related to 2012. And go Rubio...

We’ve got some nominees out here in California that drive to me to distraction too. Oh well...

It looks like Charlie will be able to spend a lot of time with his wife.

See Charlie, there is always a bright side.

He looks fairly crispy to me.

[Grunthor]

Crisp is much like burnt toast....Crispy.

[mowowie]

“Crisp”

LOL

[Damifino]

I don’t know if you’ve heard Rubio’s radio ads (I suspect his TV ads are similar but I don’t watch), Rubio has the “It’s morning in America” feel to them. I hope he turns out to be what he appears. I could support him a long way.

[upstanding]

Stupid is as stupid does. The FL situation is turning out to be a thing of beauty!

[upstanding]

Amen. We don’t need to re-fight 2008, but if Romney had been the nominee instead of McCain, when the financial disaster hit, Romney would have been able to run against Washington, rather than be a part of it. His economic bona fides would also have been superior to McCain, for sure

LOL. This is the funniest thing I've read in a while.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I didn’t know crisps came in ‘orange’. Hmmmmm. Artificial coloring? ;-)

[imskylark]

Maybe I’m just tired but Crisp cracked me up.LOL!

Thanks Chet 99. Here's an interesting thing from August 19, 2009:

• Election 2010: Florida Senate (Conservative Rubio beats Democrat Meek 43% to 30%) -- A new Rasmussen Reports survey of Florida voters show Crist with a 19-point lead over Meek -- 48% to 29%. Ten percent (10%) like some other candidate, and 13% are not sure... [Meek] doesn't fare much better when pitted against the other prominent Republican seeking his party's Senate nomination, Marco Rubio. The former state House Speaker defeats Meek 43% to 30%, with eight percent (8%) opting for some other candidate and 19% undecided.

[ponygirl]

Rubio could rob a bank and get caught with a hooker and he would still win.

I don't think so... mostly because that would mean he is a Democrat.

[guido911]

I saw Meek on Greta’s show and am impressed with this guy’s demeanor.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I wish I could be there. A bit under the weather the last couple of days. Gonna try to sweat it out on the golf course tomorrow. Still trying to see if we can make it down there Tuesday. Gotta vote first.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL - Crisp indeed!
