Crist internal poll: Senate race a 2-way tie

Posted Sep 2, 2010 by William March

The Charlie Crist U.S. Senate campaign is releasing an internal poll that shows the race a two-way tie between Crist and Marco Rubio, with Kendrick Meek trailing.

The numbers: Crist 35 percent, Rubio 34 percent, Meek 17 percent and undecided 14 percent.

The poll shows Crist and Meek splitting the Democratic vote evenly. Among Republican respondents, Rubio dominates with 66 percent but Crist holds 21 percent.

Some other recent polls have shown Rubio moving ahead of Crist, and some have shown the race too close to call. But a poll from the Crist campaign itself showing a tie seems to indicate that Crist has lost the lead he enjoyed just a few weeks ago—a lead he held largely because Democrats backed him over Meek.
