Rasmussen Reports released a survey of 750 likely voters that shows Republican candidate Rick Scott edging state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic candidate, in the gubernatorial contest. Scott pulled 46 percent while Sink carried 41 percent. The poll occurred on Sept. 30 and had a margin of error of +/- 4 percent.

“This is yet another poll showing Rick Scott with a lead outside the margin of error,” said Travis Burk, a spokesman for Scott. “Voters are rejecting Obama liberal Alex Sink’s agenda of higher taxes, more government spending, and more burdensome regulation in favor of Rick’s honest plan to turn Florida’s economy around and get Floridians back to work.”

Quinnipiac University released a poll earlier on Friday that had Scott ahead with 49 percent while Sink took 43 percent.
