Marco Rubio Gaining Strength in Florida GOP Senate Race

A new Quinnipiac University poll out today shows that Republican candidate Marco Rubio, the former Speaker of the Florida State House is closing the gap between himself and front-runner Gov. Charlie Crist in the 2010 Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate. Rubio, has cut Crist's lead in half, according to the poll's results among Florida Republicans to 50-35 percent.

"Gov. Charlie Crist's lead, which had been 29 points August 19, has come back down to earth. His margin is still formidable, but obviously Marco Rubio's focus on convincing Republican conservatives that he, not Crist, is their kind of guy is bearing fruit," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute in a news release, that accompanied the poll's results.

Despite Rubio's latest upward movement, the same poll shows that Crist still leads top Democratic candidate Rep.Kendrick Meek by 20 points by all voters, while Rubio's candidacy trails Meek by 3 points.
