Favorable/Unfavorable/No opinionAll Meek has to do is keep doing what he's doing to come across as the non-Rubio candidate, and he can win this mess. As Rubio keep pulling further and further to the right to beat Crist, he's going to find himself in a situation where he loses the middle to Kendrick Meek.
Charlie Crist 44/45/11 (59/23/9)
Marco Rubio 29/36/35 (21/22/57)
Kendrick Meek 25/18/57 (23/9/68)
Meek is still invisible. But Rubio is now well into net-negative territory. And particularly disturbing for him, that fall has come from independents, going from 18/21/61 last November, to 26/38/36. Independents aren't liking what they see from him. It would be nice if Meek improved on his numbers, but at this point, he's the only candidate left with a net-positive favorability rating.
Classic Hoffman Effect.
