This is the nail in the tossup FLGOV race. If Gillum is leading by 4 in an R pollster, then DeSantis is not close. This is a lean D race, folks.
How exactly are tossups rated by most people? I saw someone else post that RCP generally rates any race that is consistently within 5 points or less on either side as tossups, and 5 - 10 are Lean D/R. So just as an example, this would still be a tossup by RCP's system.
On the other hand, my own views are generally not strictly data-oriented. If the race is consistently D+2 or D+3 or whatever, and I don't believe there is any reason it will ever go below that, then I'd put it as Leans D myself, even though it's still within the MoE (more or less).
