Play With Closed Captions Gov. Rick Scott widened his lead in the gubernatorial race, taking a 5-point lead over Charlie Crist, according to the latest News Channel 8 poll.
Scott pulled 44 percent compared with 39 percent for Crist in the poll. Scott actually dropped a point from the 45-44 tally last week, but fared better as Crist lost support and dropped below 40 percent for the first time since the poll started this spring.
Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie more than doubled his share, taking 7 percent in the survey. Nine percent were undecided.
Crist's lead has slipped in Southeast Florida, which includes Miami and a typically strong Democratic base. He is now up 3 points, down from a 9-point lead just last week.

Florida news!
I agree. Crist has no core principles.
I’d like to see most of the 2010 governors reelected, especially Walker in WI and Lepage in Maine. Tom Corbett in PA is likely to go down but I hope he’s the only one.
Floridians are not as brain-dead as Pennsylvanians apparently.
Good.
Limp Wrist Crist is a Creepy Character
I live in Fl. and have been hearing for some time now how close it has been in the poles. I always found it hard to believe. If they’re saying 5% lead it’s probably even more than that (hopefully). Just my 2 cent.
yeesss, Crist and his ambulance chasing pal Morgan and Morgan law firm can take a flying leap.
All they want is to overturn our marriage laws and have drugs legal.
Remember a lot of people living here are not native Floridians but transplants from everywhere. I know because I live among ‘em.

FIFY!!!
Is Wyllie another DNC “libertarian” plant?
Thank you! lol
Geez, Republicans have to overcome the margin of fraud and also the margin of losertarians.
The fat lady isn’t singing yet
How anyone could vote for the (politically) depraved Crist is beyond my comprehension. He ought to lose running against an alligator ...
I thought Scott was toast this year, but he got real lucky by having such an unlikable, smarmy opponent in Crist.

...
In the Southeast Scott has been linking Crist to con man Scott Rothstein. It’s hard to beat good old negative campaigning.
Correction: Crist is a SLEAZY JERK!
