Byron Donalds Leads David Jolly 48%-44% in Florida Governor Poll as 7% Remain Undecided

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Oct 28

Summary

  • 48% to 44% — Republican Byron Donalds holds a 4-point edge over Democrat David Jolly in a New York Times/Siena poll released less than a week before Election Day.
  • 7% of Florida voters are still undecided, the highest share among the governor and Senate races polled in Florida, South Carolina and Minnesota, leaving Jolly room to close the gap.
  • Florida’s tight race underscores Republican headwinds: Ron DeSantis won re-election in the state by more than 19 points four years ago, while Donalds has been campaigning hard for Black voters and outraising Jolly.
  • The Oct. 19-26 survey interviewed 813 Florida voters by phone, mostly on cellphones, and carries a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 to 4.3 points.
