PPP Poll: Sen. Bill Nelson holds big lead over GOP rivals

MARCH 30, 2011
 Senator Bill Nelson


Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat up for re-election in 2012, holds "at least a 13 point lead" over prospective Republican opponents, a new poll finds.

"The Republicans who poll strongest against Nelson aren't going to run. Connie Mack IV, who announced he wouldn't seek the office after we'd already started the poll, trailed Nelson by 13 points at 47-34. Another incredibly long shot candidate, MSNBC host and former Congressman Joe Scarborough, trails by 13 points as well at 45-32.

Among the more plausible candidates former Senator George LeMieux does best but still trails by 15 points at 48-33. Mike Haridopolos and Adam Hasner trail by 16 points at 50-34 and 48-32 respectively, and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales does the worst with a 19 point deficit at 47-28." reads an analysis by Public Policy Polling.

PPP is a Democratic firm that does automated calls. Polls this early should be viewed with some perspective. Just ask Charlie Crist.

The Major  has been working with Bill Nelson's staff on a VA matter  for more than a year. Bill Nelson has a terrific staff in Tampa and Orlando.
