The new Rasmussen poll of the Florida Senate race shows Republican Marco Rubio taking a narrow lead in this crazy three-way race.
In a match-up against former Republican and now-independent Gov. Charlie Crist and Democratic Rep. Kendrick Meek, Rubio has 36%, Crist 34%, and Meek 15%. With businessman Jeff Greene as the Democratic nominee, Rubio has 37%, Crist 33%, and Greene 18%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4.5%. In the previous poll from a month ago, Rubio and Crist were tied at 37%-37% with Meek at 15%, and a race with Greene had Crist taking 41%, Rubio 37%, and Greene 13%.
The TPM Poll Average gives Crist 37.4%, Rubio 35.2%, and Meek 13.6%. In a race with Greene, Crist has 38%, Rubio 35.7%, and Greene 15.0%.
