The Suffolk Poll suggests that if Republicans place US Florida Senator, Republican Marco Rubio on its ticket as VP, the ticket would beat Obama by five points, 46% vs. 41%. But if I read English alright, 45% Floridians have a favorable view of the President, while only 40% have a positive view of the nationally-liked Republican Senator. If so, how does adding Rubio help the Republican ticket?

Well, I found the answer in the next line of the poll. 48% Floridians have an unfavorable view of Obama while only 31% have this negative view on the Senator. More striking however is that 45% in Florida have a positive view of former Governor Crist, and a strong 64% like Secretary of State Clinton.

In the Republican Primary, Romney receives 25% support, Cain 24%; Undecided 20%; Gingrich 11; Perry 9%; Paul 5%; Bachman 1%.

    The Senator himself is caught up in a great deal of hot water with the people that he would supposedly draw into the Republican fold. He seems to have been lying (or “forgot”) about the real story of why and how his family came to the United States.
