A Quinnipiac poll released today finds the race for Florida Governor locked up. The survey finds Democrat Alex Sink with a 44-43 lead over Republican Rick Scott.
That’s an improvement for Scott over Quinnipiac’s last poll, which had Sink up 45-41. But all polls are incredibly tight. Scott appears to have faltered slightly in the last month, and has lost what was already a narrow lead.
The Quinnipiac results closely mirror two other polls released today.
The Republican polling firm Susquehana gives Sink a 49-46 lead over Scott. And the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling has Sink enjoying a tiny 48-47 advantage.
The last Susquehana poll had Scott up 47-45. In early October, PPP gave Sink a 46-41 lead.
The TPM Polltracker average gives Sink the slimmest of leads over Scott, 45.3-44.7. If Scott wins, he’ll do so with one of the lowest approval ratings of any political hopeful in the Country.
