And btw, in the very unlikely event that Crist gets 50% I will just off the skyway bridge.

I highly doubt that the Democrats will manage 56% of the vote in Florida this year.  What's the history of this polling firm?

Did you add 42+14 to get 56?

I don't think that's how it works...
plus Crist has high numbers of independents and probably 15% of republicans.

Just wondering, why does Marco Rubio has online ads attacking Meek for being a rubber stamp to the Obama agenda? Isn't the last thing he wants to do is tear down Meek?

Attacking Meek would only help Crist in the long run wouldn't it?

According to our database, since Crist broke off as an Indy, 8 of the 11 polls released have Crist with the lead over Rubio.  And the other three were all Rasmussen polls.

Discuss.

Well, the Rasmussen polls are literally all over the place. First Rubio is up by 7, then Crist is up by 4, then Rubio is up by 8, then they're tied. Also, for all of the polls Meek is polling in the 15-19 range which is pretty consistent, so I guess you might be able to consider that his floor? I'm pretty sure there are a good amount of hardline democrat voters that are going to support Meek no matter what...

A scenario that could happen is Greene and Meek get into a huge closely contested primary (could happen) and Meek narrowly wins the nomination which could disenfranchise many of the jewish voters who would have voted for Greene(he's jewish) but are upset with Meek so they might move to Crist.
Or
Greene wins and black voters get mad, protest Greene and vote for Crist, remember Crist got 18% of the black vote as governor. It's the highest percentage a republican has ever got. And he was named the first 'black' governor.

Is this poll not database worthy? Or is it a non-major polling company so it isn't added?

AN ELEVEN POINT LEAD?!

Fix'd.

Honestly, you prefer that neo-con Rubio over a moderate like Crist?

Repaired.

I prefer that fiscal conservative Rubio to that fiscally liberal political opportunist Crist.

I prefer the common sense bipartisan thinker to that million dollar in debt, foreclosed financial mess.
