Are you sure you want to stay in the GOP primary, Gov. Crist?

Rasmussen's latest numbers in the Crist-Rubio race (500 Primary LVs, 4/8, MoE +/- 4.5%) show that the former Florida House Speaker has widened his advantage over Crist.

Senate Primary Election Matchup
Rubio 57 (+1 vs. last poll, 3/18)
Crist 28 (-6)
Und 12 (+4)

Crist held a 14 point lead in an October Rasmussen poll; the two were tied in mid-December. It's hard to imagine another turnaround happening before the August 24 primary.

Rubio is viewed favorably by 72 percent of these GOP voters, compared to 55 percent for Crist. The governor is viewed unfavorably by 44 percent.
