The 2014 Florida gubernatorial election will take place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of Florida. Incumbent Republican Governor Rick Scott is running for election to a second term in office.^[1]

Scott is considered vulnerable as reflected in his low approval ratings.^[2]^[3]^[4] The consensus among The Cook Political Report,^[5] Governing,^[6] The Rothenberg Political Report,^[7] Sabato's Crystal Ball^[8] and Daily Kos Elections^[9] is that the contest is a tossup.

General election

Campaign

As of early June 2014, Scott had spent almost $13m since March on television adverts attacking likely Democratic nominee Charlie Crist. Although the ads resulted in a tightening of the race, this came about by decreasing Crist's favorability ratings. By contrast, Scott's favorability ratings have not increased.^[64]
