PINELLAS COUNTY --

Next month, Pinellas County voters within Congressional District 13 will decide who they want to replace the late C.W. Bill Young in Congress.

According to the results of a new Bay News 9/Tampa Bay Times/ WUSF Public Media exclusive poll, the front runner could be Democrat Alex Sink, the former Florida chief financial officer and 2010 gubernatorial candidate.

Sink has a seven point lead over Republican David Jolly, a former aide and general council of Young, according to the poll results.

When asked if the election was held today which candidate would they vote for, or who are they learning toward; 42 percent said Sink, 35 percent said Jolly, and 4 percent said Libertarian candidate Lucas Overby. About 14 percent of those surveyed said they were undecided.

"I think what's important to note here is that Alex Sink is winning more Republicans than David Jolly is winning Democrats," said Ana Cruz, (D) Bay News 9 Political Analyst. "And she's also winning seven more points of Independents so that's really the key fact here that I think will be her path to victory."

"Maybe a little bit of surprise, I think this is actually a closer race than the poll might reflect," said Chris Ingram, (R) Bay News 9 Political Analyst. "And if you're David Jolly, whom I support, you want to be in the lead and not trailing at this point."

This is a district Republicans have held for 56 years.

I hope this is a sign the voters are finally waking up and becoming aware
of what to expect from the Florida GOP in the way of lies and dirty tricks.
