Jolly starts out leading Sink 47/43, fuelled in part by having higher favorables.

Sink really isn't good at campaigning - we've seen that since 2010. So long as she leads in money like she does now she shouldn't be overly threatened, but I'd expect that to change post-primary.

Yeah, I can't shirk the feeling that Sink will lose either.

A week or so ago, RRH equated this to PA-12 in 2010; an early Democratic win that gets their hopes up before a disappointing overall result in November.

Interesting. I thought Sink would have a 5+ point lead!

As DKE points out, St. Pete Polls has a TERRIBLE track record.

Also, Sabato changed his rating from Toss-Up to Lean D today, despite this poll.

Wow, that's worse than Rasmussen. Young's wasn't too far off base, but maybe that was just luck.

As someone in its titular city, St. Pete Polls has been very reliable, especially on the State House, County Commission, Sheriff, Mayoral and City Council races. It seems that the only junk results that you're pulling out are from outside of Tampa Bay - since this is a Pinellas race I'd expect they'll do a lot better (which would seem to match their track record).

Heard Jolly on the radio doing an interview with WUSF yesterday. He seemed articulate and knowledgable - proposing solutions and all that.

66K early votes have been cast. The split is 42R/39D/19I which is similar to the overall registration.

Smith says this is good news for Sink since Pubs usually have a sizeable early vote lead.
