Exclusive Poll: Voters split evenly on Florida's next governor

[Freddie Stubbs]

STATE -- Gubernatorial candidates Alex Sink and Rick Scott are heading into the final campaign week in a virtual tie, according to a St. Petersburg Times/Bay News 9 exclusive statewide poll.

Political analysts say it's going to be a handful of undecided voters who will ultimately pick Florida's next governor.

The poll asked 577 likely voters, 'If the election for governor of Florida were today, would you vote for Rick Scott or Alex Sink?'

With a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points, Scott received 44 percent of the votes, while Sink got 41 percent. Other candidates received 3 percent and 11 percent are still undecided.

This is the first poll (other than Rassmussen or the GOP polling firm that Sunshine State News uses) in a few weeks that hasn't shown Sink ahead. I'm going to reserve judgment until I see some more polls before I am convinced that this is or isn't an outlier.

1. if you need to

just ask a pub supporter if they would vote for scott if he was a Democrat. Or Sink if she was a republican.

They go apolectic, it's really something to watch.
