Crowley Political Report

 
A seven point lead for Democrat Alex Sink over Republican Rick Scott in the new Mason Dixon poll seems impressive but the margin-of-error of plus/minus 4 points really makes the race too close to call.

Mason Dixon polled 625 likely voters. 

A cautionary note - Mason Dixon had Bill McCollum up by 9 points just before the Aug. 24 primary. Scott won by nearly 3 points.

Early voting, hard to reach voters, cell phones and a host of other factors - including that this is just an odd election year -  are making it tough for anyone to do accurate polling.

Still, it is good news at this point for Sink as her campaign tries to convince voters that she is the winning candidate in the race to be Florida's next governor.

Don't be surprised if the next email you get is from the Sink campaign touting the MD numbers.
