New Poll has Charlie Crist Over Marco Rubio

The Florida newspapers owned by the New York Times Media Group and the University of South Florida Polytechnic in Lakeland conducted a new poll that found Gov. Charlie Crist holding a solid lead in the U.S. Senate race come November. The poll had Crist, who is running without party affiliation, leading former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the likely Republican candidate in the race, up by a larger margin than other recent polls.

Crist pulled 41 perccent with Rubio at 30 percent and Democratic candidate U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek pulling a pathetic 12 percent. When Meek was replaced by primary rival Jeff Greene, the race became a bit closer. Crist took 37 percent, Rubio was at 29 percent and Greene pulled 16 percent.

The poll was taken from July 24 to July 28 with 590 likely voters. The margin of error in the poll was at  +/- 4 percent.

Vitaly, you suck, Reagan brought us 35% credit card interest rate , Bush was losing jobs at the rate of 700,000 a month, in 2008 Bush had a stimulus plan[nobody called socialism] to bolster the economy. Quit sucking on Limbaugh and Beck and get a brain!

Rubio's plan to stop stimulus money would double the unemployment rate. His tax cuts for the rich, and cutting social security would also stall the economy!To create more jobs, our economy needs more economic demand. We need people who are willing to go out and buy products and services. Our economic problem is not that we lack enough people who will go out and work to create the products and services we need to have better lives. Our problem is that there is not enough demand to entice businesses to increase their work forces or buy new plants and equipment.Thanks to republicans, crying any money spent will add to the deficit, any type of government spending is bankrupting our country,wasteful and will add to deficit, the current economic crisis will carry on! Krugman, like most economists, says there is only one real way out. When consumer spending collapses, governments need to borrow and spend to prevent a depression -- and then pay off the debt from the proceeds of growth once we have brought the good times back. It's revealing that the countries that have done this hardest and fastest -- like South Korea, which spent a fortune on employing people to green the country's infrastructure -- have been the first to pull out of this recession, while the countries glugging Republican-juice have sunk deeper into the gloop.

Tom, you look like tax and spend liberal. Mr. Krugman is leftist idiot. If you listen people like him you will soon live in "Greece". Business incentive was always tied to lower taxes. That is what stimulates economy.
P. Crugman suggests quite opposite: tax and borrow. Where on earth that policy ever worked dickhead? Learn from Reagan, not from Carter.
Right is always right, and left is always "left".
I wish we could split this country in half: half for dickheads like you, and another half for us, and I would not allow people like you to cross our borders. Got it?
