....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.

I hope they also enjoy that shiny, brand-new state income tax that’ll be needed to fund all those wonderful freebies.
Desantis didn’t help himself any by distancing himself from Trump.
Florida Man goes to the polls.
“This makes me ill.”
No need to be ill my friend. I can explain everything in 2 words: “Fake Poll”
Enjoy this great day, 1 week before Election Day aka Victory Day.
I went to UNF for one semester. It’s a commuter school like UCF, USF, Florida Atlantic, FIU, UWF and Florida Gulf Coast.
All of those exist for people who couldn’t get into UF or to a lesser extent, FSU.
me and my girl early voted yesterday. Old timer at the box said it’s been pretty steady.
I’m not buying it. He will NOT win.
There is no hpoe and change coming..
I lived in Colorado... the Califorinans moved in and ruined it..

Could it possibly be a “Tom Bradley effect” result, where respondents to a poll in 1982 in California told the pollster that they were voting for Bradley for governor, feeling that they would be considered a racist if they didn’t, and then voted for the GOP candidate George Deukmejian on election day.
The hope for a “Bradley Effect” was present in 2008, yet Obama outperformed polls on Election Day. That dynamic might’ve been a factor in the ‘80s, but it’s unlikely now.
Perhaps Florida voters just long to have their own Obama-like “Black Jesus.”
Exactly , the polling amateurs peddling push polls .
Read the methodology :-)
There is so much “rigging” by the media in their reporting to skewer their wishes and make it appear “their” candidates are leading or way ahead.
It’s hard for me to believe people in FL want much higher taxes and Gillum as their governor.
I agree the data suggests that the GOP should win these statewide races fairly comfortably.....
However, you cannot dismiss the fact that an AA candidate may indeed affect turnout numbers on election day to a different pattern than historical performance.
I do however, find the spread of 5 points almost laughable.
In a week we know...
Why does any GOP voter believe MSM POLLS?
The truth is that early voting in Florida shows GOP way ahead...
