A new poll released Thursday finds former Gov. Charlie Crist with a small lead over Gov. Rick Scott in a possible 2014 match-up.

The University of North Florida released a poll which shows Crist taking 44 percent while Scott follows with 40 percent. Crist, who is now a Democrat after winning three statewide offices as a Republican, beats Scott among independents, 41 percent to 33 percent.

The poll finds Scott does much better when matched against former state Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich. Scott takes 43 percent against Rich who follows with 28 percent.

The poll finds 49 percent of voters approve of Scott while 42 percent disapprove. Most other polls have found Scott upside down and trailing Crist by double digits.

The poll of 526 registered Florida voters was taken from Sept. 30-Oct 8 and had a margin of error of +/- 4.27 percent.
