FL Sen Poll: Rubio Lead Grows To 18 Over Crist

Former House Speaker Marco Rubio now has a whopping 18-point lead over Gov. Charlie Crist in the Florida Senate primary, a new Rasmussen poll (442 LVs, 2/18, MoE +/- 5%) shows.

Primary Election Matchup
Rubio 54 (+5 vs. last poll, 1/27)
Crist 36 (-1)
Und 7 (-4)

The numbers come as Rubio is coming off a well-received appearance before a national audience of conservative activists, while Crist is attempting to step up his efforts against him. Crist now has a net-negative job approval rating among the Republicans surveyed, with 48 percent approving and 49 percent disapproving. He's also viewed unfavorably by 44 percent, favorably by 54 percent. Rubio's fav/unfav split is 67 / 15.

Rubio now leads by 11.6 in the RCP Average.

The primary is August 24. Rasmussen says that both Crist and Rubio "have large leads over likely Democratic nominee, Congressman Kendrick Meek." Those numbers will be out tomorrow.

Real Clear politics

I think it's time for Charlie to do the right thing, and step aside.
