Byron Donalds vs. David Jolly: Latest Polls Show Two Very Different Results
Recent surveys range from a statistical tie to a double-digit Donalds lead as the candidates vie to replace term-limited DeSantis.
The governor's race in Florida is producing conflicting polling results, with some surveys showing Republican candidate Byron Donalds leading Democrat David Jolly by a significant margin, while others indicate a virtual tie. The Stetson University poll released on October 13 found Donalds leading Jolly 52% to 41%, while a Change Research survey conducted around the same time showed the candidates tied at 47% each.
However, other polls have produced different results, such as the YouGov poll which found Donalds leading 47% to 45%, and the NBC 6/Telemundo 51 poll which had Donalds ahead 48% to 41%. Despite the varying results, Jolly's campaign has described the results as evidence of "significant momentum" in a "neck-and-neck race," while Donalds, a congressman endorsed by President Donald Trump, faces Jolly, a former Republican congressman who left the party to become a Democrat.
