Democrat Andrew Gillum holds a 6-point lead over Ron DeSantis (R) in the hotly contested gubernatorial campaign in Florida, according to a new poll.
The Reuters–Ipsos–UVA Center for Politics poll found that 50 percent of voters surveyed support Gillum, compared to 44 percent who back DeSantis.
The remaining percentage of voters said they support a different candidate or did not indicate support for any candidate.
Gillum and DeSantis are running to replace outgoing Gov. Rick Scott (R), who is term-limited and running for Senate. The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, rates the gubernatorial contest a “toss-up.”
The Reuters poll shows Gillum with a slightly larger cushion than most other polls have shown thus far.
A RealClearPolitics average of polls in shows Gillum with a lead of roughly 4 percentage points.
Gillum, currently the mayor of Tallahassee, has earned the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and has campaigned on a progressive agenda that includes expanding Medicare to cover everyone.
DeSantis, who resigned as a congressman earlier this month to focus on campaigning for governor, has received the endorsement of President Trump.
DeSantis sparked controversy just a day after he and Gillum won their respective primaries when he urged voters not to “monkey this up” by voting for Gillum, who would be the state's first African-American governor, and his policies in the November election.
His comments prompted fierce backlash, with critics suggesting the remarks had racial undertones or were outright racist.
DeSantis denied that race had anything to do with his comments, but instead argued he was focusing on "ideas and principles."
The Reuters–Ipsos–UVA Center for Politics poll surveyed 1,000 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
This is one scary headline down here.
No internal .
Nothing
Just online crap
The Hill hide all this for its hit piece !
Bullshiite...
when did Rasmussen sell his firm and Pulse take over?
Are they using the same methodology?
I don’t se how that can happen. We have a 6 cent sales tax, property taxes are local and we have no state tax. No way to raise taxes here.
Oh if this socialist gets in as governor he’ll tax soda, rain..anything.
The garbage from Reuters is an Online poll of anyone including
foreigners , Kids ....
Pure garbage .
The left wing Hill of course blasts this garbage with help of
Drudge .

NY Equity firm owns Rasmussen ..
They subcontract now .
New poll Wednesday has DeSantis up by 6-8.
The only ones who know anything about polls are the Polish.
Didn’t see that anywhere yet.
Thank You.
This is no time for DiSantis to be monkeying around.
Isn’t that about the lead Hillary had in Florida!!!!
No. No he doesn’t. Gillum’s Island couldn’t lead a dog catcher.
This is 2016 level fake polling, ESPECIALLY since FL Rs have outregistered Ds by a whopping 72,000 since 2016.
For every black Gillum’s Island brings out, two Sarasota white Ds will stay home.
These polls are like the Beto O’Rourke polls in TX. Utter fantasy. If you see one with a D+1 sample, that might be believable.
Does Pam Bondi, in her position, have the authority to review voter rolls? I wonder why this has not previously been done in all states with Republican governors..oh yeah, they’re complicit....
Frankly, this poll is hogwash!! IMHO and given polls track record!
