Rubio extends lead, Meek gains on Crist

A new poll indicates that no-party candidate Gov. Charlie Crist has faded in the state's three-way Senate race, allowing Republican Marco Rubio to extend his lead.

Meanwhile, Democrat Kendrick Meek, in third place, has gained on Crist.

The change apparently happened because of Democrats swinging toward Meek and independent voters moving toward Meek and Rubio – all of them moving away from Crist, according to the Mason-Dixon Polling & Research survey.

It shows Rubio with a 12-point lead – 40 percent to 28 percent for Crist, 23 percent for Meek and 9 percent undecided.
