For the second time in three days a nationally recognized pollster shows Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum with a double digit lead over Democrat Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, up from a five point lead one month ago.

“Today’s Rasmussen poll is yet another example of Florida voters quickly turning away from Democrat Alex Sink and her liberal friends in Washington,†said Republican Party of Florida Communications Director Katie Betta. “Alex Sink’s claim to be a moderate ‘Florida Democrat’ doesn’t even resonate with her own pocketbook, which she uses to line the campaign coffers of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, let alone with hardworking Florida families and business owners.â€

“In poll after poll, Floridians are letting Alex Sink know that ducking important issues, financing liberal Washington insiders and wasting taxpayer money and time counting office supplies just doesn’t cut it,†concluded Betta.
