A newly released Mason-Dixon poll of the Florida gubernatorial race finds state Chief Financial Officer and Democratic nominee Alex Sink on top of Republican former hospital executive Rick Scott 47%-40%.
Mason-Dixon last took a look at this race on August 11 (before the Florida primaries) and saw Sink leading Scott 40%-24%, with Independent Bud Chiles, who has since dropped out of the race, pulling in 17%. Last week, a Reuters/Ipsos poll saw Scott up two points on Sink, 47%-45%, while a Fox News poll had Sink ahead by eight, 49%-41%.
The margin of error for the latest survey is ±4.0 percentage points.
The TPM Poll Average for the contest has Sink leading Scott, 46.6%-40.3%. For more on the race, check out TPMDC’s full coverage here.
