Poll: DeSantis Takes Lead Over Gillum in Florida Gubernatorial Race
Newsmax ^ | 25 Oct 2018

Posted on 10/25/2018 4:48:06 PM PDT by mandaladon

Barely two days after Democrat Andrew Gillum was leading in most polls for governor of Florida, a Strategic Research Associates poll conducted for Gray Television and released Wednesday showed Republican and former Rep. Ron DeSantis pulling into the lead, 48 to 45 percent.

The margin of error was +/-3.46 percent. The poll is the first since the primaries last month to put the conservative DeSantis ahead of Bernie Sanders supporter Gillum.

Virtually every expert who spoke to Newsmax agreed that Gillun was damaged by recent revelations Gillun had misstated that he reimbursed a lobbyist for a ticket to the Broadway show “Hamilton.” Subsequent reports indicated when he actually received it from an FBI agent posing as a real estate developer while the Tallahassee mayor was in New York.

During a stormy debate with DeSantis last week, Gillum described himself as “hard-working” and insisted he had received the ticket from his brother. The latest stories would seem to indicate something else.

DeSantis has been a strong backer of President Trump in Congress and the President campaigned for him even before the primary. Gillun says flatly Trump should be impeached.

I don’t think it would be a good idea having a governor who thinks Alexander Hamilton was a black guy. Florida voters should at least shoot for someone with a double digit I.Q.

Many of the polls will do an “about face” now that it’s just a few days away until the day of reckoning.

Ed Rollins just said on DeSantis is not going to beat Gillum over some tickets

I think he needs to hit Gillum hard on what he did to Tallahassee as Mayor! Ask the voters, Can you imagine what he'll do to Florida as Governor? & being anti-Cop, he could turn Florida into Chicago!

I realize time is short but I’d like to see a Trump rally in California and would really like to see one in New Jersey.

Just for kicks, Madison Square Gardens. Now that would be fun!

As Steve Sailer said, Hamilton is an honorary non-white.

All those GOP voters in the Panhandle voted for Gollum. Yeah, sure.

And Trump is coming into town next week to lock it up for DeSantis.

If diSantis does well in the gov slot, coattails could help Scott.

DeSantis and Scott are going to win.

Call it the Trump tide that lifts all boats. A popular President will help keep
Congress in GOP hands.

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, Happy Halloween, Ff Meyers!
