A poll from the Florida Chamber Political Institute (FCPI) unveiled on Monday shows Gov. Rick Scott has taken a 3 percentage-point lead over former Gov. Charlie Crist -- the man who spent most of his political life as a Republican, yet is the favorite to win the Democratic primary next week.

Scott takes 44 percent in the poll of likely voters against Crist's 41 percent.

When Libertarian Adrian Wyllie is added into the mix,Scotts lead expands. In that scenario, Scott takes 41 percent, Crist gets 35 percent and Wyllie 4 percent.

Former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., the Republican Partys presidential candidate in 2012, will be heading to South Florida next week to hit the campaign trail for Miami-Dade School Board member Carlos Curbelo.

Jeb Bush is hoping his stature with Florida Republicans can move the needle on Amendment 2 and help defeat that medical marijuana initiative.

Even with conservative distaste over Bushs support of Common Core and immigration reform, including going out of his way to trash Arizonas immigration law, the former governor remains pretty popular with Florida Republicans. Polls show Bush coming closer against Hillary Clinton in Florida than any other potential Republican presidential candidate.
