The Florida race for governor has hit the final stages with the candidates appearing to plan on campaigning right up until Election Day.

With polls showing Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist remain locked in a dead heat, both men are still getting out their message and trying to sway undecided voters.

Where the candidates are headed this weekend is indicative of their overall strategies.

Gov. Scott traveled to Jacksonville Friday, where he has enjoyed strong support. He showed up at a Jacksonville business to continue spreading his message about jobs, but it was his jabs at Crist that drew the most applause.

"Did you hear about the Republican, Independent and Democrat who walked into the bar? [The] bartender says, 'Hi Charlie,'" said Gov. Scott with a laugh.

On Saturday, Scott will be heading to Florida's west coast to continue his last minute campaign push.

Meanwhile, Crist started his day in St. Petersburg before making stops in New Port Richey, Daytona Beach and Orlando. The Crist camp will look to rally its base in central Florida during the Orlando and Daytona Beach stops.

Crist received a warm reception when he went door-to-door with his supporters in one New Port Richey neighborhood.

 “I admire a person who goes with his gut feeling and change when he wants and not just go with the flow,”  said one supporter.

Crist was accompanied by Democratic state Rep. Amanda Murphy and Republican Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano, who was a longtime supporter of Crist long before he went for the governor’s ticket.

Libertarian challenger Adrian Wyllie has an event scheduled in downtown Bradenton Friday evening.

According to the latest Bay News 9/Tampa Bay Times/UF Graham Center poll, Scott and Crist each drew support from 36 percent of the likely voters who responded to the poll.  

Wyllie received 6 percent of the poll.

Election Day is Nov. 4.
