Republican Rick Scott has once again taken the lead in the race to succeed current Governor Charlie Crist in Florida. Sink leads Democrat Alex Sink in the newest polling, showing a reversal of former momentum for Scott. Furthermore, it refutes the idea that Scott, a businessman, could not win in the general election.
Scott has also taken a bare lead in the average of major poll indices compiled by Real Clear Politics. According to this average Scott now leads by .6%. Not a lot, but certainly a lead. The most recent poll was conducted by Rasmussen, the most accurate of the national pollsters.
This race is slightly askew thanks to a third-party candidate running in the footsteps of Charlie Crist. It is unknown how this development will affect the final race but it appears that it may tip the election one way or another. How this may happen is still unforeseen.
Scott (R): 50%
Sink (D): 47
Other/und: 3%
Notice that Scott has made it to the all-important 50% mark. Also note that the race for Senate will affect turnout in the race. If turnout is low due to the fact that Kendrick Meek, the Democratic nominee is badly trailing, it spells great trouble for Dems. Further, heavy turnout for Republican Marco Rubio could "sink" the Democratic candidate's chances.
It's going to be an interesting night on November 2nd.
