Governor Charlie Crist (I) “is slightly ahead of Republican Marco Rubio in a three-way general election matchup for the U.S. Senate,” the AP reports.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Friday shows Crist and Republican Marco Rubio well ahead of both Democratic candidates, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek and billionaire businessman Jeff Greene. Crist is running as an independent after bolting the GOP in April.
If Greene gets the Democratic nomination, the poll shows Crist with 37 percent, Rubio with 32 percent and Greene with 17 percent. If U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek is the Democratic nominee, Crist receives 39 percent, Rubio 33 percent and Meek 13 percent. A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday showed Greene with a 10-point lead over Meek leading up to the Aug. 24 primary.
