Rasmussen. FL Sen: Nelson (D) 49%, Harris (R) 40%

[Adlai Stevenson]

The latest Rasmussen Reports polling in the Sunshine State suggests that Republican Representative Katherine Harris has improved recently as the state GOP has rallied round her.  She now wins the support of 77% of Republicans, up from 59% in the last poll.  Nelson has the backing of 77% of Democrats.  However, Nelson's margin over Harris is wide amongst Independent voters, he leads 64%-18% over his challenger.  While Harris' approval has improved from 34% to 44%, her disapproval is at a relative high of 40%.  Nelson, on the other hand, has the approval of 53% of Floridians compared to 27% who disapprove of their senior Senator.

This is simply a hypothetical match-up by a polling firm that historically gives a greater margin to Republicans than Democrats.  I never claimed that Nelson would only win 77%, thats what the poll states. OK?

Whoa, I actually thought this Rasmussen poll was recent and was perplexed by how Harris was able to make such a big comeback.
