DescriptionTAMPA - If it were up to University of South Florida students, Democrat Alex Sink would be Florida's next governor. They are evenly split, though, among the three candidates in the U.S. Senate race.

More than 1,500 students participated in the straw poll on campus Thursday, three days before a nationally televised debate at USF among the senate candidates: Independent Charlie Crist, Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Kendrick Meek.

On Monday, CNN will broadcast a second debate from campus for gubernatorial candidates Sink and Republican Rick Scott.

Despite the swing toward Sink – who got 53 percent of the vote, compared to 33 percent for Scott -- the students leaned more to the right in this straw poll than in a similar poll conducted two years ago.
