Today, Florida Democrats will cast their ballots to select a U.S. Senate nominee. Three major national polls show FAMU alumnus Kendrick Meek leading his closest challenger by double-digits.A Mason-Dixon poll showed Meek, a four-term Congressman, beating billionaire real estate investor Jeff Greene by 42 to 30 percent. Public Policy Polling released numbers showing Meek leading Greene 51 to 27. A Quinnipiac poll published yesterday had Meek above Greene 39 to 29.
Meek’s high numbers come despite the Greene campaign’s recent blitz of television ads and direct mail advertisements criticizing his record.
