Exclusive Poll: Presidential Politics and the Broward Sheriff’s Race

Filed under: Surveys

By  Jim Kane, The Florida Voter

 

With the Barack Obama campaign poised for a big win in Broward County, most political observers have assumed that The Democratic ticket’s coattails could sweep Scott Israel into the Sheriff’s office, even though he pales in comparison to Sheriff Al Lamberti in both name recognition and campaign cash.

His name has appeared in both the local and state-wide media on almost a weekly basis.
