Republican Rick Scott now leads Democrat Alex Sink by six points in the race to be Florida’s next governor. It’s 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 state’s 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 Scott’s 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.

Two weeks before election, watch the shifting towards the GOP candidates begin to take shape.

Sink’s ads were touting her time as CFO of BofA..........I guess this is not a good time for those.................
Right on! Senator Rubio and Governor Scott sounds pretty good right about now...
Would be sweet to see Crist replaced with a tougher real republican and then watch him lose the senate seat at the same time.
I’m gonna enjoy that moment.
Is Sink sinking?
Scott just started running TV ads in our area. I noticed that during the primary his ads were very effective, and this latest crop are effective too. It’s not that they haven’t been running negative Sink ads, but the ads where he talks to the “public” directly have just started. I said all along that I thought he was a good communicator and once his ads start, they will “pay off.”
Yes. Sink has sunk to new lows!

Is this the sink that slick willy used?
Crist is gonna be unemployed for the first time in a long time.............
God i hope this is right and it is sustained. i was a bit worried about this race and now i am worried about PA Senate, KY Senate and maybe even Alaska Senate for crying out loud.
Don’t be, its Dem messing around in those, Murkowski aint going to get enough write in, its one thing to say a poll but another to write it out when the name aint on the ballot.
Toomey is up about 10 in PA, dont believe those PPP crap.
As for Kentucky, Rand will win, i think this rubbish Conway has been pushing is going to backfire spectacularly.
Scott’s ads tell lies about Sink. No she isn’t responsible for the loses in retirement funds. They are overseen by two Repubicans besides Sink.
I still think it’s very close. But the poll certainly is heartening.
So she's 1/3 responsible. The other members, "Republican" Charlie Crist and Bill McCollum, are 2/3 responsible.
I agree, I saw one of those ads last night and thought it was good. I don’t watch local channels much, and those sink attack ads hurt my stomach. I am so glad to see this lead after a couple of polls showing sink ahead. I love the “let’s get to work”.
Don’t worry about those outlier polls. I don’t trust much but Rasmussen at this point.
