The new Rasmussen poll of the Florida Republican Senate primary has big news for conservative insurgent candidate Marco Rubio — he’s now tied with moderate Gov. Charlie Crist, the favorite of the GOP establishment.

In the new survey, the two each have 43% support, with a ±5% margin of error. Back in October, Crist was ahead by 49%-35%.

Rubio has been hammering Crist over his having campaigned alongside President Obama for the stimulus bill. And it seems to be working. The primary will be held on August 24, 2010.
