WHAT?!?! Scott up 2 in FL Govenor’s race?

RESIZE: AAA

Reuters/IPSOS just released their latest Florida poll, and it is touted as more good news for Marco Rubio. However buried WAY WAY down in the article is this interesting little nugget…

The race to replace Crist as governor is close, with Republican Rick Scott and Democrat Alex Sink statistically tied, Scott with 47 percent and Sink with 45 percent, the poll found.

Now to be fair, this poll contradicts the latest polls from Fox and PPP, which show Sink with an 8 and 7 point lead respectively. However, the PPP poll is now 2 weeks stale. The Fox poll uses the Rasmussen methodology, but isn’t actually Rasmussen. It was conducted over the same period as the Ipsos poll with a larger sample size.

Take this with a grain of salt, but it is a nice little pick-me-up before the weekend.

    Scott may be behind most of the way, but I’d expect him to keep closing the gap.

    I’ll be very curious what this race looks like in mid-October…

    The reason Sink is ahead right now is she’s running away from being a Democrat, she pretty much wants people to not realize she is one. Sooner or later they will find out, and once they realize that she isnt the true Independent she wants voters to think she is, they’ll go with Scott. He’s got the money, the message, and he’s got an awesome running mate. There’s really no way he can lose, so you can look at the polls and be worried, or look at reality and not be worried. I prefer the latter :) .
