Crist's Popularity Lags, But He Still Leads

[ccharles000]

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's main opponent in his coming race for Senate may be his own sagging popularity among the state's Republican voters, according to a poll conducted Oct. 25-28 and commissioned by three Florida news organizations.

Crist angered some of his fellow Republicans last February when he appeared on stage for an event with President Obama to build support for an economic stimulus package that was widely opposed by the GOP.

About two-thirds of Republican voters responding to the poll disagreed with Crist's decision to appear with the president, and half of them said they strongly opposed it, according to The Miami Herald, one of the news organizations sponsoring the survey. The other two news sponsors were Bay News 9 and the St. Petersburg Times.

Forty-two percent of likely voters said Crist was doing a good or excellent job as governor.

1. Strange as this sounds...if he wins ...we are a Blue state.

2. The problem is in getting thru the primaries. Dems and Inds can't vote

He is a horrible Gov. His 2 issues in running: Property taxes (still high), and home owner's ins. rates (still insane, if you can even find coverage.)

I think the deal is he runs for senate (leaving a horrible mess he can no longer hide.. thanks Jeb) and leaves the Gov for a dem (sink) to pick up their pieces.
