FL: 58% Have Favorable View of Graham
52% for Bush, 51% Kerry
Florida voters like outgoing Senator Bob Graham more than other leading political figures in the state of Florida. Graham is viewed favorably by 59% of Florida voters and unfavorably by just 33%.
However, a Rasmussen Reports survey found that a plurality of voters have favorable opinions of Betty Castor, Bill McCollum, Mel Martinez, Jeb Bush, John Kerry and George Bush.
The survey, conducted immediately prior to the President's Press Conference on Iraq, also found the race for the White House too close to call in Florida (Kerry 47% Bush 46%).
