New Poll Shows Byron Donalds, David Jolly Deadlocked in Florida Race
A new St. Pete Polls survey shows a razor-thin governor’s race 47 days before the midterms.
A recent St. Pete Polls survey reveals that Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly are tied in the Florida governor's race, with just 47 days left until the election. The survey, conducted from September 15 to 17 and featuring 913 likely general-election voters, shows Donalds leading Jolly by 43.5 percent to 43.4 percent among likely voters.
Another 4 percent of respondents back a third-party candidate, while 9 percent remain undecided. Independents lean towards Jolly by 12 points. The survey, commissioned by Florida Politics, has a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points. Donalds, a Trump ally, and Jolly, a former Republican now running as a Democrat, are vying for the seat.
They differ in their approaches to homeowners insurance, with Jolly proposing a state catastrophic insurance fund to reduce costs and Donalds advocating for changes to the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund and restructuring state grants.
