Four GOP U.S. Senate candidates make their cases at Florida GOP meeting in Tampa

in 2017/Top Headlines by

The four Republican candidates attempting to succeed Marco Rubio as the next Senator from Florida convened together for the first time on Saturday morning in Tampa. The four men – Lieutenant Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera, Congressmen David Jolly and Ron DeSantis, and former military veteran and CIA officer Todd Wilcox – are so little known that 86 percent of Floridians told Quinnpiac pollsters last week that they couldn’t form an opinion on any of them because of lack of knowledge about them. However, they literally have…

Mitch Perry Report for 8.28.15 – GOP convention memories

in Top Headlines by

While the nation’s media will focus quite correctly this weekend on the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, anyone remember Hurricane Isaac? (Let’s not even talk about Erika). That was the storm that forced the cancellation of the first day of the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa three years ago, making today the third anniversary of the beginning of that political quadrennial event. Oh, the memories. The Tampa RNC (like the Democrats in Charlotte a week later) was only…

Mitch Perry Report for 8.26.15 — Alan Grayson thriving with small-dollar donations

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

A Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday shows that none of the Democratic or Republicans running for the U.S. Senate next year in Florida are well known enough to ask voters who they would vote for next year. That seems hard to believe when one of those candidates is Alan Grayson, but so be it. With more than a year to go before the Senate primaries in both parties, on the surface of it, the Grayson-Murphy fight should be a battle royal. However,…

Rick Scott right side up in new Q poll, 45-44 percent

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Rick Scott has been governor of Florida for over 5 1/2 years now, but other than his two election-day victories, he’s been more down than up when it comes to his personal approval ratings throughout his controversial tenure. That’s why the governor and his supporters have to be giddy this morning, after a Quinnipiac poll released early Tuesday shows Scott right side up, 45-44 percent, with 10 percent undecided. “With little attention on him these days, Gov. Rick Scott gets his best…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

A new Quinnpiac poll of Floridians shows that despite the increasingly harsh rhetoric about immigration in the GOP presidential primary, a majority of Floridians (53 percent) support allowing most undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and eventually apply for U.S. citizenship. An additional 12 percent say the undocumented should be allowed to stay in the U.S., but not be allowed to apply for U.S. citizenship. Thirty-one percent said that the undocumented should be deported back to their country of origin. That’s…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Donald Trump leads Jeb Bush by a 21-17 percent margin in the GOP presidential race in Florida, according to a new Quinnipiac poll released on Thursday. The Trump surge in Florida was first reflected in a St. Pete Polls survey conducted three weeks ago, and has been maintained in subsequent Florida polls. In a similar Quinnipiac poll conducted in Florida in June, Bush was at 20 percent support, while Trump was at just 3 percent. Marco Rubio and Dr. Ben Carson are tied for third…

July continues to be the month of Donald Trump in the GOP presidential campaign, as the New York businessman/celebrity has taken the lead nationally in a new Quinnipiac poll released Thursday morning. Trump gets 20 percent support, followed by Scott Walker at 13 point, and Jeb Bush at 10 percent.
