The new Quinnipiac poll of the Florida gubernatorial race shows presumptive Democratic nominee Alex Sink taking a narrow lead for now, as Republican contenders Bill McCollum and Rick Scott keep tearing each other apart in their primary.
With McCollum as the GOP nominee, Sink has an edge of 31%-29%, with 12% for independent Bud Chiles. With Scott as the Republican candidate, Sink leads by 33%-29%, with 12% for Chiles. The survey of registered voters has a ±3% margin of error. In the previous Quinnipiac poll from three weeks ago, McCollum edged Sink by 27%-26%, and Scott edged Sink by 29%-27%, with 14% for Chiles in both cases.
The TPM Poll Average has Sink leading McCollum and Chiles by 33.1%-30.7%-12.4%, and Sink leading Scott and Chiles by 34.7%-27.8%-14.3%.
