Poll Updates

The latest poll, by Strategic Vision, has Nelson leading Harris in a potential US Senate matchup in 2006.

Nelson: 48%
Harris: 42%
Undecided: 10%

Nelson was trailing other Republicans in the poll but were leading others as well.

The poll also included the Governor's race and how people felt about a ban on Same-Sex Marriages.

Another poll, SurveyUSA, did a survey of all 100 US Senators and their approval ratings. Overall, Nelson's approval rating is around 47% according to the SurveyUSA poll numbers. 49% of both Democrats and Republicans approve of his job. However, 32% of Democrats and 26% of Republicans disapprove of his job. Meaning more Democrats disapprove of Nelson than Republicans. However come election time, they are much more likely to approve and vote for Nelson. Nelson's best numbers come from Moderates and Conservatives and his worst numbers comes from liberals.

Polls this early are fun to look at but can't be taken too seriously until later this year, around December.
