Republican Senator Mel Martinez is in grave danger when it comes to his reelection in 2010. PPP found that just 23% of voters in the state approve of his job performance, and state Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink leads him in a potential 2010 match up.

By contrast Democratic Senator Bill Nelson enjoys a 42/29 approval in the state.

Even among Republicans just 37% of respondents approve of Martinez, with 31% disapproving. Just 15% of independents and 12% of Democrats expressed support for the job he is doing.

Sink leads Martinez 37-31, holding Martinez to a 53-16 lead among Republicans while leading 59-12 among Democrats and 35-20 among independents.

Martinez also struggles against Congressman Robert Wexler, with their match up showing a 33-33 tie.

This poll provides pretty strong evidence that Martinez will be one of the most endangered Republican Senators in the country in 2010.
