Health Care Law Suit Bites McCollum in the Ass

A just released Quinnipiac University poll finds that Attorney General Republican, Bill McCollum, leads Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Alex Sink, the Democrat, in the race for Florida governor by a mere 4 percentage points, 40-36, while a majority of voters abhor his challenge to the health care reform overhaul.

Attorney General, Bill McCollum

According to the poll, while Floridians mostly disapprove of the federal health care reform bill,  54 – 40 percent of voters say it is a “bad idea” for McCollum to file a lawsuit challenging its constitutionality.  Voters say 38 – 28 percent, including 41 – 27 percent among independent voters, that they are now much less likely to support McCollum on account of this challenge.

The last poll conducted by Quinnipiac during January 20-24 showed McCollum leading Sink by 41 – 31 percent.

State Senator, Republican Paula Dockery poses no threat to McCollum for the party’s nomination, 56 – 7 percent, with 34 percent of voters saying they are undecided.

In terms of performance on the job, 52 – 25 percent say they approve of McCollum’s performance and they give him a favorability rating of 38 – 18 percent.  As much as 41 percent of voters say they don’t know enough to rate him.

By contrast, Sink gets a 39 – 26 percent approval rating for her job as CFO, and a 22 – 15 percent favorability rating, the Poll shows.  A whopping 61 percent don’t even know about her and therefore have no opinion.

The Quinnipiac University poll surveyed 1,250 Florida voters from April 8 – 13th.  The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.
