Poll: Gillum leads DeSantis by 6 points in Florida
The (s)Hill ^ | 10/30/18 | Michael Burke

Posted on 10/30/2018 7:18:28 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

....The University of North Florida poll of likely voters found that Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, has the support of 49 percent of likely voters in the state, while 43 percent said they plan to back DeSantis....

Gillum's lead is boosted by support from independent voters in the state, with 56 percent of nonparty affiliates surveyed saying they'll vote for the Tallahassee mayor....

....phone interviews from Oct. 23 to 26 with 1,051 likely voters. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

A RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Gillum with a 3.2 point lead.

The Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss-up, while FiveThirtyEight's governors forecast rates it as likely Democrat and gives Gillum better than an 80 percent chance to win.

The Florida vote has been diluted by New England Liberals for years. As The conditions in states like NY worsen with crippling taxes the net outflows are like a herd and many go to N. Carolina and Florida.

Can’t believe Florida is going to elect a socialist.

Praying it doesn’t happen.

If we lose Florida, Trump will not get reelected. The USA will become another Venezuela.

Floridians I hope you enjoy the next 4 years of having a Leftist corrupt race baiter in the governor’s mansion. Considering the Republicans have solid control over both state houses Gillum will be sitting in his desk for 4 years twiddling his thumbs.

“Poll.”

DATA: FL Rs up 3% over 2016 when Trump won by 113,000. We look to emerge from early/absentee voting with a tie at worst, a gain at best. Ds won absentee/early by 90,000 votes in 2016.

That’s a 200,000 deficit.

Makes me very sick as a Floridian. I really do not understand it. Scott is virtually tied with Nelson and this...why would there be a split like this? I think the under the radar effect could be good for 3-4 points, but come on - look at De Santis on paper - this is a stellar candidate.

‘....Gillum will be sitting in his desk for 4 years twiddling his thumbs. ‘

And, he’ll probably be happy to do so....more time to socialize with other progressives. People are not getting full picture about Gillum cause the “newspapers” support Dems and bash Republicans.

I think the poster above nailed it.

Too many Leftist voters fleeing the tax hells they created in NY, MA, IL. They are Florida residents now, and their stupid voting patterns persist.

It sad how far left “voters” love to elect thieves and crooks. Like Waylon says, “Ladies Love Outlaws”.
