Public Policy Polling is out with a rare bit of good polling news for Democratic Senate candidate Kendrick Meek, showing the congressman within striking distance of former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio in a general election match-up.
In PPP’s poll, Rubio led Meek by five points, 44 percent to 39 percent, just outside the 3.4 percent margin of error. Despite a party ID split that favors the Republican, Meek has an edge among independents, making a Meek-Rubio contest the most favorable general election scenario for Democrats.
