Rick Scott Makes Up Ground Against Charlie Crist

Gov. Rick Scott is gaining ground according to a poll released by Quinnipiac University on Tuesday morning. The poll finds Scott trailing former Gov. Charlie Crist in a possible 2014 match-up 47 percent to 37 percent. A Quinnipiac poll from March found Crist up by a larger margin, routing Scott 50 percent to 34 percent.

Surprisingly, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, the only Democrat to hold statewide office, leads Scott by the same margin Crist does. Nelson takes 48 percent while Scott gets 38 percent.

Scott does hold a lead over former state Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich. Scott takes 42 percent while Rich garners 36 percent.

The poll of 1,176 registered Florida voters was taken from June 11 through June 16 and had a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percent.
