Viewpoint Florida continued to release details on a recent survey they conducted of the state. On Tuesday, they announced that they had conducted a poll that found Floridians giving Gov. Rick Scott mixed marks with his disapproval numbers over his approval rate by the slimmest of margins. The poll found that 48 percent of those surveyed disapproved of Scott while 47 percent approved. The poll also found that the governor was provoking strong feelings on both sides, with 33 percent strongly disapproving of his job as governor while 24 percent strongly approved of it.

In what surely has to be sobering news for President Obama and the Democrats, a Washington Post poll shows that Americans are evenly divided over who to blame for an impending government shutdown.

The poll, released Monday, reported that 37 percent would blame Republicans and an identical 37 percent would blame Democrats if a shutdown occurs Friday. Fifteen percent say both sides are equally to blame.
