Poll: Rubio bests Crist for Fla. Senate by 'elephant-sized' 23 points

That indpendent run for Crist is probably starting to look like the only option:

Marco Rubio has opened up an elephant-sized 56 – 33 percent lead over Gov. Charlie Crist in Florida’s U.S. Senate Republican primary, but in a three-way general election with Rubio on the GOP line, Crist as an independent and Democratic U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, Crist has a razor- thin edge, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
