Some 2006 Poll Numbers for Florida

These are some early numbers for the US Senate race (Mainly Nelson's Numbers) and the Governor's Race. Pay more attention to these once the Summer passes and we get closer to the end of the year but it's always good to just keep these in mind and remember that we are going to have to work hard for it in 2006.

*Senator Nelson has a 50% to 17% Approval to Disapproval rating. That is the good news.

The bad news: 35% support his re-election; 37% oppose his re-election; 28% unsure.

*Senator Martinez has lower numbers than Nelson. (43% approval; 29% disapproval)

"Sen. Bill Nelson's approval ratings remain a little soft for an incumbent seeking re-election, but many voters are not focusing on the 2006 election at this point," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.


**For the Democratic Primary for Governor**

Unsure 35%
U.S. Rep. Jim Davis 26%
Democratic Party chairman Scott Maddox 22%
state Sen. Rod Smith 16%
Others 1%

**For the Republican Primary for Governor**

Attorney General Charlie Crist 35%
Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher 33%
Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings 13%
Unsure 19%

Katherine Harris Leads Tom Gallagher for the Republican nomination for US Senate 31% to 23%. Toni Jennings is being rumored that she is about to drop the Governor's bid and run for the US Senate instead but she is only polling 8% for the US Senate compared to Harris' 31%.

Like I said, take this for what it's worth: A whole lot of nothing at this point.

See ya'll tomorrow!
