A new poll from the Florida Chamber of Commerce Political Institute shows Gov. Rick Scott with the lead over former Gov. Charlie Crist. The Florida Chamber is backing Scott for another term.

The poll of likely voters, taken by Cherry Communications, shows Scott ahead with 44 percent and Crist at 39 percent, outside the margin of error. Libertarian Adrian Wyllie takes 4 percent

Wishful thinking, or accuracy?

I just hope it is true. Charlie Christ is a weasel of the highest order.

Hopefully the poll is accurate. I can’t stand Crist’s phony smile.

>>Wishful thinking, or accuracy?

More wishful thinking based on the assumption that there won’t be massive voter fraud. In the Third World mindset of the average Democrat, voter fraud is a right.

Democrats think that voter fraud is social justice.

Wishful thinking. I truly just came here from a poll page that has Crist ahead. Given the early voting numbers I don’t see Scott pulling this one out.

Quinnipiac (however it’s spelled; it leans left) has Crist ahead by 3 points, “last poll before the election” “within the margin of error”

Yep. I had one tell me “white people outnumber us 4 to 1, so we need to have more votes to make it even.”

Again, for what it’s worth....latest Rasmussen poll has it at dead heat (47% each)

I really don’t care for Scott but I’ll happily vote for him next week. Crist is slimy, deceitful and utterly self-promoting.

Obama said that less than half of the Blacks vote and that voter I D keeps the rest of them from voting, meaning that voter ID keeps Democrat operatives fro m voting for the other half.

In other words, something really needs to be done about 39% of the population.

Quinnipiac poll has Wylie, the Libertarian, at 8%. This one has him at 4%. No way Wylie gets anywhere near 8%. These third party candidates always fade. I hope this poll shows that Scott is benefiting from the fade.

I don't think I could stay here with an orange governor.

I'm going to guess that more registered Democrats are going to vote for Wiley instead of Crist, more than registered Republicans will vote for Wiley.
I don't see any large scale support from Independents for Wiley, at all.

Crist hasn't been popular in any of his political incarnations.

Even I refrained from voting for Crist when he said he was a Republican!

I don’t know how they make their predictions but Bing Predicts had Scott chance of winning 54% and Crist’s chance at 46% as of yesterday morning

The Chamber of Commerce is saddened by this I suppose?

I hope it is true. For those who don’t live in FL, Scott is a pretty good governor, but clearly not telegenic. So, I think he has been a hard sell throughout his fist term.

Fortunately, Crist is the definition of opportunist. I could never believe the polls that had this a horserace.

Due to a recent move across state after the registration deadline, I will not be casting a ballot in any county in FL. But I will be working a war room of election attorneys on election day to direct lawyers in the field to precincts where problems are evident.

Go Bondi! Go Scott! And Go Christ - back to Morgan & Morgan.

Time to stop looking at polls and just getting out to vote.
