McCollum opens up 10-point lead over Sink
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum has jumped to a 10 percentage point lead over state Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink in the race for governor, according to Quinnipiac University’s latest Florida poll measuring issues of the day in the state.
McCollum trounces Republican rival Paula Dockery, but his 41 percent to 31 percent lead against Sink isn’t that commanding with 25 percent of the electorate undecided.
“Attorney General Bill McCollum has moved out to a double-digit lead in the race for Governor. He’s beating CFO Alex Sink among independents and doing better among Democrats than Ms. Sink is doing among Republicans,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
“But McCollum shouldn’t start picking out draperies for the governor’s office. Certainly part of his lead is due to being somewhat better known than Ms. Sink — although neither one is a household name in the state.”
