Rubio wins debate

A day after the March 28 debate televised on Fox News between Florida's Republican U.S. Senate candidates Marco Rubio and Gov. Charlie Crist, FloridaTrend.com started a poll asking its online readers, “If you watched it, who won the debate?”

Early results had former Florida House Speaker Rubio leading by more than a 4-to-1 margin. Though Crist supporters have forged a small rally during the week, as of 11 a.m. on April 1, Rubio had 73% of the 965 votes cast to Crist's 19%, with 8% calling it a tie.
