A new poll shows Congressman Connie Mack leading the GOP field to retire Senator Bill Nelson (D-Sleepy). Poll shows most GOP voters are still undecided. Here is the story from The News Service of Florida (click here)

“The survey of 780 Republican voters, conducted from Dec. 15-19, shows Mack — the son of a former senator and grandson of a famous baseball manager — carrying 39 percent of the vote, far outpacing the rest of the field.

Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, tea-party favorite Mike McCalister and former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner all trailed in single-digits. Former steakhouse executive Craig Miller, who was not included in the poll, has long been stuck in single-digits in other polls.

‘Mack owns this at the moment, and it is his to lose,’ said Bill Lee, a Republican pollster who co-founded TelOpinion and polled contested primary states for U.S. Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid in 2008. Lee’s firm is not working for any of the candidates or so-called Super PACs this cycle.”

Adam Hasner Brands Himself As The Underdog

Recently GOP insiders have been wondering who would be the first victim of Connie Mack’s entry into the US Senate race. Folks on the campaign trail whisper about Adam Hasner skipping key GOP and tea party events.

Perhaps Team Hasner heard the same rumors. Earlier this week the Hasner campaign released internal polling saying Hasner would be a great candidate if only people knew more about him and his views. Today, the campaign branded Hasner as the underdog in the Senate race. Cue the theme from Rocky? Stay tuned…
