Poll: Presidential Race Too Close, but Nelson Leads Mack by Wide Margin

Rep. Connie Mack (l) Senator Bill Nelson (r)

The presidential race in Florida is too close to call, but Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson holds a commanding lead in his re-election race against Republican Connie Mack, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.

Among likely voters, President Obama leads Republican Mitt Romney by a margin of 48 to 47 percent, which is within the margin of error. The poll was conducted Sunday to Tuesday, after a nationally televised debate that Romney is widely believed to have won.

A poll released before the debate showed Obama ahead 47 percent to 46 percent. With the Nov. 6 election less than four weeks away, the new poll shows a more clearly-defined Senate race in Florida. Nelson leads Mack, a southwest Florida congressman, by a margin of 52 percent to 39 percent, the poll said.
