Republican Rick Scott now leads Democrat Alex Sink by six points in the race to be Floridas next governor. Its the widest gap between the candidates in six months of polling.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida shows Scott with 50% support for the second survey in a row. Sink, the states elected chief financial officer, earns 44% of the vote. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate in the race. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
This moves the race from a Toss-Up to Leans Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard.
Less than two weeks ago, Scott, a wealthy businessman and former health care executive, held a 50% to 47% lead. This race has been close for weeks since Scotts upset win over Bill McCollum in the state GOP Primary in August. In six surveys since then, Scott has picked up 41% to 50% support, while Sink has captured 36% to 47%. The candidates were in a near tie at the beginning of September.
Scott and Sink are scheduled to hold their second debate tonight.

What does this say about the voters? That many of them don't really think about the election until a couple of weeks prior? Or is it the blitz in radio/tv ads? It seems to me that this time around minds should have been make up quite some time ago.
Amazing to see so much support for a guy who made millions from his abortion mills through his healthcare company. This kind of blood never washes away....
WOOHOO!
Oh hell, it has been ALL OVER the south Florida TV news, too. Puff pieces, loving coverage of Alex Sink and Charlie Crist.
Scott is smartly makign the election a referendum on Obama. There is no possible electoral college scenario for a Democrat WH win in 2012 without them winning at least either Florida or Ohio...and as of now..it looks like they’re gonna lose both.
Quite aware of that. But, thank you!
didn’t she refuse to take her husband’s name UNTIL he was running for office?
forgot about all that, it makes me dislike sink even more.
ANY Obamaite is far too dangerous to the country, our money and our freedoms and are to be shunned all costs.
