Rick Scott for Governor: Quinnipiac Poll Shows Commanding Lead

July 29, 2010 Politics No Comments

Great news to share! In case you missed it, Quinnipiac released a poll of likely Republican voters in the Florida primary showing Rick Scott beating Bill McCollum by 11 points. This is the third independent poll in a row to report Rick ahead by double digits.

There is more good news from today’s poll… Fresh off the 7-7-7 Bus Tour, Rick beats McCollum by 22 points on who would do a better job rebuilding the economy!

After 8 weeks and more than 8 million in negative ads, McCollum is running out of time, money, and has completely tarnished his image by running a relentlessly negative campaign. No doubt he will continue to resort to desperate attacks and downright lies. Following the Quinnipiac pole results, the Saint Petersburg Times quoted McCollum saying “Well, look, there’s no negative advertising in my campaign at all.”

On the contrary, during the course of his campaign, McCollum has spent a total of $15.6 million on negative campaigning with the exception of one positive ad. In total more than fourteen million, has all been used to make false and scurrilous attacks on Rick. Here is a chart illustrating  the sheer negativity from his campaign:

Stand with front-runner Rick Scott to combat the negative attacks by becoming an online activist! Visit our new website which continuously offers new ways for you to be the most involved supporters for the campaign.
