Rasmussen Poll: Rick Scott Leads Alex Sink by 3 Points

A third poll released Thursday, this time from Rasmussen Reports, looking at the close Florida gubernatorial contest, shows Republican Rick Scott in the lead over Democrat Alex Sink -- unlike the polls released by Mason-Dixon and Quinnipiac University earlier in the day.

The Ras poll has Scott with 48 percent and state CFO Sink with 45 percent.

The poll of 750 likely voters was conducted on Oct. 27 and has a margin of error of +/- 4 percent. Scott also led a Rasmussen poll last week, 50 percent to 44 percent.
