Republican businessman Rick Scott has moved to a six-point edge over Democrat Alex Sink and has hit the 50% support mark for the first time in Florida’s gubernatorial race.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Scott with 50% of the vote, while Sink, the state's chief financial officer, earns 44% support when leaners are included. Six percent (6%) of voters prefer some other candidate in the race.

Since Scott is an R it’s ‘Slightly ahead’ if he was the Demorat it would read ‘clobbering’ or ‘major lead’ or ‘landslide’
Slightly?
ras’ description not mine.
Our local ABC affiliate was reporting THIS morning SINK AHEAD by 9 points...............
This is good news with most of the moralists RINOs here in Fl threatening to not vote.
Sink began her campaign with a blitz of Scott saying negative anti (o)bama stuff. I guess Scott did not need to run any ads with her helping him!
Meanwhile, Scotts ads I have seen are just simple, let’s get to work ads. Sink will have a tough time getting away from her pro (o)bama agenda, no matter how far she tries to distance herself especially with Marco Rubio pulling favorably for the R’s too IMO.
That’s the MD poll from yesterday.
Be nice if he and Rubio would start doing ads about "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago when Democrats took over Congress and Charlie Crist and Alex Sink took over the state of Florida?"
Unemployment = tripled
Home foreclosures = tripled
Salaries = reduced
Home values = halved
Retirement accounts = 20% or more lower
MD Poll?
They just polled doctors?...........;^)
BOOM! I was really, really hoping this one would swing back our way. The Sink +8 result from the last one just seemed odd, especially with Rubio leading so ferociously in the Senate race. Rubio is a rising tide that floats all boats.
Democrats in denial. Republican establishment in awe and denial. Yuk Yuk.
A dim leads by two... landslide... a republican leads by 6... razor thin lead.
LLS
Looks like the Rs are gonna sweep in all the major swing states (FL, PA, OH - even MI).
This will be huge for redistricting and prez 2012 election.
I am praying that he stays ahead of her at the end of election day.
i never thought that we would have to fight the Establishment Republicans along with the Democrats and main stream media. But we do what we have to do. Why? Because we have something personal at stake,our hind ends.
Rasmussen is doing this a lot, he’s just done the same with the Texas Gov with Perry with a “slight lead” at 6% ahead.
GO Rick Scott ! Go Tea Party !!!
Mason Dixon has been wayyyy off this year .
It appears there are doing these push poll based on the local lefty media operation’s criteria who pays for the polls.
Their Reid Angle polls cooked up for the LVR have been huge outliers too.
Was MD sold recently or had a shake up ?
MD has been cooking up some strange poll results for LVR between Reid and Angle too. The results are wild outliers and naturally pro Reid .
I agree, the best way is to take an average of polls that aren't outright wrong.
