McCollum Expands Leads in Florida
A new Quinnipiac poll in Florida finds Bill McCollum (R) extending his lead over Alex Sink (D) to 10 points in the gubernatorial race, 51% to 41%.
Said pollster Peter Brown: “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.”
McCollum led by just four points in late October.
