Pollster John Zogby’s firm has released a new survey that shows Democrat Charlie Crist opening up a big 7 point lead in the Florida governor’s race.

Libertarian Adrian Wyllie is polling an impressive 8% and 9% are undecided. Wyllie’s support has held surprisingly firm in recent polls, perhaps due in large part to the excessively negative tone of the campaign.
