The only bad news for Republicans in the latest batch of polls from Fox News is from Florida’s governor’s race:
Florida: Marco Rubio (R) leads Gov. Charlie Crist (I) in the U.S. Senate race, 43% to 27%, with Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) at 21%. Alex Sink (D) is ahead of Rick Scott (R) in the race for governor, 49% to 41%.
Nevada: Sharron Angle (R) edges Sen. Harry Reid (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 45% to 44%.
Pennsylvania: Pat Toomey (R) leads Rep. Joe Sestak (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 47% to 41%.
Ohio: Rob Portman (R) leads Lee Fisher (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 48% to 41%. John Kasich (R) is ahead of Gov. Ted Strickland (D) in the race for governor, 48% to 43%.
California: Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) edges Carly Fiorina (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 46% to 44%. Meg Whitman (R) is ahead of Jerry Brown (D) in the race for governor, 49% to 43%.
Most of these results are in line with other polls, but I suspect Sharron Angle’s supporters will be cheered at a non-Rasmussen poll* showing her ahead.
UPDATE: Eh, it’s sort of not Rasmussen: “Pulse Opinion Research licenses methodology developed by veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen, providing a survey platform for a host of clients, from individuals to special-interest groups. In fact, we provide the field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys. We have also collected data for presidential campaigns and top-tier political professionals from across the political spectrum. Over the period from 2003 to 2009, Pulse generated 18% of its revenue from Republican sources, 20% from Democrats and 61% from sources not affiliated with either major party.”
I'm not sure what Scott is waiting for, the $30 million money bomb that wiped out McConnell should start on Sink and her 'magical' insurance plan soon.
I am in FL and Sink is running ads saying all Scott is doing is talking about Obama and how she is not Obama. Seems like she has quite a bit of fear of being linked to Dear Leader; so much so that she is willing to tell people like me (who has not seen or heard of Scott since the primary) that people think she is like Obama. Doing his advertising for him.
I am confident the polls will move fast once Scott starts dropping money on who exactly this Socialist is and her typical socialist answers to any and all problems. And even where there are no problems socialism is her answer.
