FL Poll: 41% Likely to Vote Independent This Year

From Rasmussen:

As Independent candidate Charlie Crist continues to run neck-and-neck with Republican Marco Rubio in the race for U.S. Senate in Florida, the plurality of voters in the state say they are more likely to vote for a candidate not affiliated with either party this election than they have been in the past.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds that 41% say they are more likely to pull the lever for an independent candidate this election than in past elections. Thirty-percent (30%) say they are less likely to do so this year, while 19% say their likelihood is about the same this year as it has been in the past. Ten percent (10%) are not sure.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats in Florida say they are more likely to vote for an independent candidate, compared to 44% of unaffiliateds and 33% of Republicans.
