Senate 2010: Florida

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

We'll have lot more on the 2010 races in the future, but here's little nugget on who the most endangered incumbent might be:

Public Policy Polling did three surveys over the summer looking at Mel Martinez's job approval rating and how some potential opponents would fare against him.

In June his approval rating was 23%, in July it was 24%, and in September it was 23%.

We found that in hypothetical 2010 matchups Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink would lead Martinez 37-31, Congressman Robert Wexler would be tied with him 31-31, former Senator Bill Graham would lead him 51-31, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz would lead him 38-37, Congressman Allen Boyd would lead him 37-33, and Congressman Ron Klein would lead him 37-33. Martinez is probably the most endangered incumbent in the country for 2010 and given his lack of popularity even with Republicans is ripe for a strong primary challenge. - PPP

23% approval rating, and in the mid-30s against various Congressmen? Ouch.
