It appears that Democrat Congressman Joe Garcia’s full-throated endorsement of President Obama’s failed presidency and job-killing economic agenda, has backfired on the embattle Miamian, who is now trailing Republican congressional nominee Carlos Curbelo in the latest St. Leo University poll.
The poll, which sampled 400 likely voters and has a margin of error of +/- 5 percent, has Curbelo beating Garcia my a spread of 46-42.“Congressman Garcia is in a weaker position than he may have hoped for with less than a month to go in the campaign,” said Frank Orlando, a political science instructor at Saint Leo University. “Curbelo, the Republican challenger, can take satisfaction in knowing that over twice as many voters view him as strongly favorable than strongly unfavorable.
“There’s still time for Garcia to make a move, but he must court independent voters,” Orlando added. “Although demographics and a gradual shift in Cuban political identity are making the district more Democratic, Garcia must also win a greater share of Republican votes, a hallmark of his successful 2012 campaign.”-SSN
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Garcia has tried in earnest to portray himself as a “moderate” and “bipartisan” legislature, but voters don’t seem to buy his bag of tricks.
Because Garcia’s campaign has showcased his “bipartisan” immigration reform bill in the House of Representatives, Garcia has made himself a target of the pro-legal immigration lobby, and failed to understand that the voters in that district, including the Cuban-Americans-who always show up to vote-don’t appear to support his amnesty for illegal aliens piece of legislation.
Oh, Garcia’s idea of “bipartisan” support for his bill is having only (3) Republican legislators give him the thumbs up.While the immigration issue is a political noose wrapped around Garcia’s neck, his unabated supported for President Obama will cause his demise.
Is it too early to reach into that kitchen drawer and pull out the fork on Garcia?
