A new statewide poll shows Attorney General Bill McCollum and Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink in a virtual tie for governor nearly a year and a half before the 2010 November election.

The poll, conducted by Atlanta-based Strategic Vision LLC, found 41 percent of potential voters supported GOP hopeful McCollum while 39 percent opted for Democrat Sink. The poll, with a margin of error of +/- 3 percent, showed 20 percent were undecided in that race.

McCollum edged out state Sen. Paula Dockery by just 44 percent to 28 percent although this is his fourth statewide bid for office in 10 years. And Dockery, R-Lakeland, hasn’t even announced that she is indeed running for the post. Twenty-eight percent of respondents were undecided in that race.

Gov. Charlie Crist maintains a comfortable lead in a potential U.S. Senate GOP primary against former House Speaker Marco Rubio, with 59 percent supporting Crist, 22 for Rubio and 19 percent undecided.

Crist fared about the same against presumptive Democratic candidate U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek. In that potential race, 59 percent of potential voters chose Crist, 29 percent went for Meek and 12 percent were undecided.
