A new Fox News poll shows President Obama leading Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney by a margin of 49 percent to 44 percent in Florida, with voters saying they trust the Democrat more on issues such as Medicare and foreign policy.
The poll, released Wednesday night, also shows Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson with a 49 to 35 percent lead over Republican challenger Connie Mack, a southwest Florida congressman.
Voters also indicated they don’t like the job Republican Rick Scott is doing as governor. Of those polled, 49 percent said they disapprove of Scott’s performance, while 39 percent approved.
The poll of 829 likely voters was conducted from Sunday to Tuesday and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points, according to Fox News.
