Often times voters have a good idea about the eventual outcome of a political race, weeks before the actual election takes place. Having said this, this is clearly not the case with the Florida Governor race between Rick Scott and Alex Sink. The latest polls are so close, that you can’t even take a guess as to who will come out the victor on election day.

In a Zogby poll taken today, the Democrat Alex Sink came out on top of Republican, Rick Scott by a 43-39 margin. In an earlier poll taken on Saturday, the 23rd, by the St. Petersburg Times, however, Scott beat out Sink, 44-41. To complicate things even more, a poll on Friday the 22nd, by Sunshine State News showed a 45-45 tie between the candidates. The average of numerous polls that were done all the way back to May show Sink Leading Scott 40.9 – 40.5.

Both candidates have political experience, as well as important qualities needed for running the state of Florida. Rick Scott, who lives in Naples, Florida, and was born in Bloomington Illinois, is 57 years old, and founded “Conservatives for Patients’ Rights,” in order to put pressure on the US to make sure the health care legislature was based on free-market principles. Alex Sink is currently the Chief Financial Officer for Florida, and is 62 years old. She currently resides in Thonotosassa, Florida.

If there was ever a year when your vote counts, this certainly is it for Florida voters.
