Rick Scott Takes Lead Over Charlie Crist in Rasmussen Poll

Rasmussen Reports released a poll on Friday which finds Gov. Rick Scott edging leading Democratic rival former Gov. Charlie Crist by a whisker. The poll of likely voters shows Scott taking 42 percent, Crist garnering 41 percent, 8 percent backing other candidates and 9 percent still undecided.

A Rasmussen Poll from April had Crist leading 45 percent to 39 percent for Scott.

The poll of 900 likely Florida voters was taken on July 29-July 30 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
